  • The entity is owned or controlled by a natural person(s)
  • The parent entity does not consolidate accounts
  • There is not a parent according to the GLEIF legal entity identifier definition (there is no known person controlling the entity e.g., diversified shareholding)
  • Legal restrictions prevent me from publishing or providing this information
