a person ("the principal") appoints an agent,
one or both of the principal and agent is a financial institution,
the agent uses money provided by the principal with a view to producing a profit,
the principal is entitled, to a specified extent, to profits resulting from the use of the money,
the agent is entitled to any additional profits resulting from its use (and may also be entitled to a fee paid by the principal), and
payments made because of the principal's entitlement to profits equate, in substance, to the return on an investment of money at interest.
