1. Whether a delegation of investment decisions is deemed to have the necessary authorisation in accordance with Article 14 paragraph 1 FinIA is determined in accordance with Article 24 FinIA. Foreign managers of collective assets must be subject to authorisation and supervision which is at least equivalent.
