Safekeeping
Assets recorded in custody accounts through the relevant market infrastructure and sub-custody network.
Custody Services
Safekeeping is only the beginning.
A disciplined operating layer for holding, settling, servicing and reporting investment assets — with visibility for clients, advisers and family offices.
Custody discipline
Accurate records.
Controlled movement.
Independent oversight.
The operating model
Four functions behind every well-administered portfolio.
Custody separates the safekeeping and administration of assets from the investment decision, creating a reliable book of record and a controlled path for every transaction.
Settlement
Trade instructions matched, monitored and settled against cash or securities through controlled workflows.
Asset servicing
Income, maturities and corporate actions processed and reflected in the client’s records.
Reporting
Positions, transactions and cash movements consolidated into clear, regular statements.
Asset coverage
A consolidated view across eligible holdings.
Coverage depends on market, instrument, settlement route and the bank’s ability to hold the asset through an approved custody chain.
Listed securities
Equities, government and corporate bonds, exchange-traded funds and other eligible listed instruments.
Funds
Eligible mutual funds, UCITS and alternative investment funds supported by available transfer-agent arrangements.
Cash & deposits
Transaction cash, settlement balances and deposits linked to the custody relationship.
Private assets
Record-keeping or administration support for selected private holdings, subject to documentation and operational review.
Structured instruments
Eligible notes and certificates supported by the relevant issuer, paying agent and settlement infrastructure.
Transaction control
A visible path from instruction to final settlement.
Each movement is checked against account authority, settlement details and available positions before it reaches the market.

Important
Custody is not investment advice.
Safekeeping or accepting an asset into custody does not constitute a recommendation, valuation assurance or guarantee of liquidity. Market and instrument availability remains subject to operational, legal, sanctions and compliance review.
