   2. (b) [deleted]
2. (2) The conditions referred to in (1) are:
   1. (a) the claim is against a relevant person:
      1. (i) acting in the capacity of manager or depositary of the collective investment scheme; or
      2. (ii) in connection with that person’s managing investments or safeguarding and administering investments; and
   2. (b) as a result of the matters in (a), a participant in the collective investment scheme has suffered loss but the participant has no claim for that loss against that relevant person.

is, in each case:

1. (3) for the benefit of participants who would be eligible claimants if they had a claim themselves; and

2. (4) no more than the amount of the loss suffered by those participants.
