Return Client’s funds to its covered Clients which are held by the member directly or indirectly in the framework of provision of covered services by the member to said Client, and which the latter requested the member to return, in exercise of their relevant right, or

Return to the covered Clients financial instruments which belong to them and which the member of the ICF manages or safeguards on their behalf, including cases in which the member is the manager of said financial instruments.
