The Risk
Institutional Investors appoint Global Custodians for their fund administration and accounting, settlements, and corporate actions across multiple assets classes: equities, bonds, cash, derivatives, hedge funds, real estate, and private equity. Global Custodians support investment across markets and appoint sub-custodians (agent banks) in markets where they do not have a presence. Choosing and reviewing global custody arrangements is a critical task that Institutional Funds undertake regularly, but opaque fee structures, lack of transparency and a disinclination to move assets can leave Funds underserved and over-charged.
The Solution
Thomas Murray's Fund Advisory team are experts in Securities Services. They carry out consulting engagements, benchmarking reviews and RFP processes for Asset Owners and Asset Managers to find the best possible global custody arrangements, and to ensure they are compliant with their counterparty evaluation, selection, and monitoring requirements.
