The Risk
Institutional Investors are exposed to a wide range of risks when they invest in foreign markets. These risks go beyond exposures to a local custodian bank, a CSD or a fund administrator. In fact, they include a range of risks that are not routinely intermediated or indemnified by any of these institutions, including:
- Lack of simultaneous delivery against payment
- Breakdowns in critical systems
- Entitlements lost because of inadequate information about a corporate action or an AGM
The Solution
Thomas Murray provides an independent assessment of the risk of safekeeping, transaction settlement, and asset servicing processes in a market, based on a comprehensive analysis of the post-trade risks in that market.
With this service, institutional investors are continuously updated on their post-trade exposure across their invested markets.
Markets are graded from AAA to CCC
The assessments measure the extent to which investors are exposed to eight primary risks:
Asset Commitment
Liquidity
Counterparty
Financial
Asset Safety
Asset Servicing
Operational
Governance and Transparency
We safeguard clients and their communities
