Securities Services
Corporates and institutions investing globally have to cope with a new regulatory landscape, as well as adapt to market infrastructure change and new technological innovations. To thrive in this complex world, they need smarter custody solutions that focus on their specific post-trade goals and data that empowers them to improve their efficiency and process.
Financial intermediaries such as global custodians, broker/dealers and prime brokers as well as buy-side firms and other institutional clients need to focus on achieving their business goals, whilst ensuring continued regulatory compliance, and reducing capital and financing costs, as well as improving their operational efficiency. To help them, we provide custody, clearing and settlement, agency securities lending and fund services in more than 30 markets around the world.
Our clients enjoy:
- the reach of a truly global securities services network;
- the peace of mind that comes from partnering with a stable, well-financed bank; and
- the opportunities that our innovation, expertise and bank-wide collaboration regularly uncover.
Our commitment to transaction banking and our client-centric mindset – reflected in the relentless expansion of our network across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia; the time we spend in understanding specific requirements; and our ongoing investment in people and technology – translate into bespoke yet simple solutions.
Click on the image above to watch the video series on how the industry is developing a Smarter Custody strategy, driven by:
- A shift in client priorities: This requires solutions that focus on post-trade goals driven mainly by regulation but also business goals. While asset protection remains a top priority, firms are also looking at how to better access and move assets to meet business needs. A balance must be struck between the safeguarding and the mobility of assets. This is leading to a move from the traditional “bundled” custody product towards an implementation of new “component-based” solutions.
- Intelligently optimising assets in the new regulatory environment: Basel III requires an understanding of where credit is and if adequate provisions have been made should a credit line disappear. At the same time European Market Infrastructure Regulation requires collateral to be placed with central counterparties, across the globe, at specific times. Firms should consider both cash and securities as assets that can fulfil these obligations.
- Empowering clients through data: Data is a significant factor in improving efficiency and process. Access to better quality data that is an integrated part of a custody solution can improve a firm’s data analysis and, therefore, overall efficiency.
