Global Custodian

  • • Books & records hold the golden copy of positions and cash
  • • Instruction manager captures, matches, and settles via DvP
  • • Asset servicing runs income, corporate actions, proxy, and tax reclaim

Custody Network

  • • Sub-custodians are local agents into each market
  • • CSD / ICSD is the authoritative depository register
  • • Settlement matches at the depository and moves on DvP

Integrity Loop

  • • Reconciliation compares the golden copy to every external ledger
  • • Differences surface as breaks that must be investigated
  • • Cleared breaks keep the golden copy provably correct
