Thomas Murray has worked directly with the AFME working group to develop the counterparty monitoring questionnaire for sub custodians and global custodians. The industry standard questionnaire is available on Due Diligence either for clients to issue out and monitor internally, or Thomas Murray offers this as a managed service, whereby our analysts will issue out the questionnaire and evaluate it on the client’s behalf. The re-issuance of this questionnaire through Due Diligence allows respondents to annually import their answers from the previous year, saving time and allowing for the highest level of response rates.
