  "text": "1. AIFMs shall ensure that all required records referred to in Articles 64 and 65 are retained for a period of at least five years.\nHowever, the FCA may require AIFMs to ensure that any or all of those records are retained for a longer period, taking into account the nature of the asset or portfolio transaction, where it is necessary to enable the authority to exercise its supervisory functions under the UK provisions which implemented Directive 2011/61/EU.\n2. Following the termination of the authorisation of an AIFM, the records are to be retained at least for the outstanding term of the five-year period referred to in paragraph 1. The FCA may require retention for a longer period.\nWhere the AIFM transfers its responsibilities in relation to the AIF to another AIFM, it shall ensure that the records referred to in paragraph 1 are accessible to that AIFM.\n3. The records shall be retained on a medium that allows the storage of information in a way accessible for future reference by the FCA, and in such a form and manner that:\n(a) the FCA is able to access them readily and to reconstitute each key stage of the processing of each portfolio transaction;\n(b) corrections or other amendments, and the contents of the records prior to such corrections or amendments, may be easily ascertained;\n(c) no other manipulation or alteration is possible.",
