10 - Fund/SERV. After the receiving firm submits the fund registration, ACATS passes the entry to
the Fund/SERV system, which in turn passes it to the fund.

In ACATS, the receiver of the transfer is responsible for submitting mutual fund registrations. The
receiver must submit the fund registration to ACATS while the account is in Review status. If ACATS
has not received a fund registration for a mutual fund asset with a settling location of 10 - Fund/SERV
by the end of the review period, ACATS will generate a default registration and send the default
registration to the fund.
