Capital Market Infrastructure Risk - The Risk

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.
