Custody Service
Every high net individual and investment account needs a secure and reliable place to keep its securities assets, and cash across generations. Our custodial services are designed for high-net-worth individuals and family offices seeking secure and professional asset administration. Acting through regulated trust companies, broker-dealers, and other qualified financial institutions, we provide comprehensive custody solutions that include asset safekeeping, cash management, transaction settlement, income collection, reporting, and administrative oversight. All assets are maintained under custody for a predetermined duration or tenor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Custody or Trust Agreement.
But there are significant differences in the way each type of custodian treats your assets. Choosing the right one can be especially important when markets are volatile or the economy is unsteady.
Simplifying Asset Management
As your master custodian, we simplify the complexities of working with multiple managers and ensure your assets are seamlessly administered. We interact with your financial intermediaries, investment advisors, brokers and other agents to centralize your information and provide you with a consolidated, easy-to-understand view of your assets.
How We Keep Your Assets Safe
We safeguard your assets by holding them in a dedicated account established exclusively in your name. Your assets are maintained separately and are never commingled with the assets of the firm or those of other clients, ensuring clear ownership and protection.
Securities and other eligible assets are registered in your name or held for your beneficial ownership through our secure custody platform, as appropriate for the asset type and applicable legal requirements. We execute transactions and administer the account strictly in accordance with your written instructions and any duly authorized directives, including beneficiary designations or succession instructions that become effective upon the maturity or termination of the trust, as provided in the governing trust documentation.
Where appropriate and legally permissible, we can also provide an additional level of privacy by utilizing a nominee trust structure, allowing your beneficial ownership to remain confidential in the marketplace while preserving your legal rights and interests. All custodial and trust services are provided in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and the terms of the relevant custody or trust agreement.
Sophisticated Reporting and Performance Tracking
We provide comprehensive reporting and performance tracking to meet your needs. For example, we can report multiple accounts and individual holdings separately or in a consolidated view and show manager performance comparisons or specific accounts within your portfolio.
