Summary

What is a custodian?

Custodian banks hold customer securities for safekeeping. Custodians also offer other services such as account administration, settlements, collection of dividends and interest, tax support, and foreign exchange.

How are custodians regulated?

Strict regulations govern how custodians interact with investment advisors who make investment decisions on behalf of their clients. Custodians must ensure proper authorisation is in place before accepting trades.

  • BNY Mellon
  • State Street
  • J.P. Morgan
  • Citi
