CFCL eligible fund types

CSD link

Please refer to the CBL Market Link Guide – Portugal for more information about funds available via the CSD link.

Eligible funds

Investment funds that are eligible in Portugal CSD, Interbolsa or T2S can be made eligible in CFCL.

Custody chain and depository

Portugal is a T2S market.

The OneClearstream service level provides clients with a single point of access to all T2S markets with comprehensive instruments coverage. This is complemented by full harmonization of asset services and connectivity channels between CFCL, CBL, and CEU. This service is available to all our clients via a single interface and log-on.

The service description is valid for CFCL clients, unless otherwise highlighted in the documentation.

CFCL utilises the T2S infrastructure platform to access Portugal’s CSD (Interbolsa) through the intermediaries of CBL. CFCL uses CBL as a global custodian across all markets.

Type of link

  • Direct link to Clearstream Europe AG for holding Interbolsa/T2S eligible securities;
  • Indirect link via BNP Paribas S.A. to Interbolsa (All non T2S-eligible assets);
  • Link to BNP Paribas S.A. for holding securities that are not eligible in T2S and in Interbolsa.
