Description
In the securities industry, custody banks form the underlying foundation for the entire buy side. Fund managers and institutional investors rely on their custodian(s) to hold assets in safekeeping, handle settlements, process income, manage cash and foreign exchange, and provide reporting. But this description doesn't accurately reflect the full capabilities of most global custodians that have, over time, added numerous additional services to form a more complete outsourcing solution. This TowerGroup Research Note analyzes why outsourcing is becoming more appealing to asset management firms and analyzes the service provider landscape.
