French term or phrase: Convention de Services Fonction Dépositaire
The title of the document is "Convention Dépositaire", which I've translated as "Custodian Agreement".

Convention de Services : désigne le document séparé validé et/ou signé entre les Parties décrivant les modalités opérationnelles et techniques des services fournis par le Dépositaire à la Société de Gestion. Ce document comprend deux volets, un volet décrivant la Conservation (« Convention de Services Conservation Globale ») et un volet décrivant le contrôle dépositaire (« Convention de Services Fonction Dépositaire »). La Convention de Services fait partie intégrante de la présente Convention. En cas de contradiction entre la Convention de Services et la Convention, la présente Convention prévaudra.

depositary services agreement


Explanation:
Maybe too late for the asker, but for future reference:

In an EU fund context, prefer 'depositary' (not 'custodian' and NOT 'depository') to translate the cognate word in French. See the linked article for the crucial differences between depositary and custodial functions. See also the various UCITS and AIFM Directives in English.

In practice, fund depositaries commonly delegate actual custody (FR conservation) to other institutions and retain mainly their more legal functions, which cannot be delegated. This makes them similar to what are called 'fund supervisors' in parts of the Anglosphere.

'Depositary' is an established term in the US as well, in terms such as ADRs and as defined in the securities law chapters of the US Code -- if not in the exact same fund context as here, still always for one entity acting as agent for another.
