Solutions
Depositary and trustee services
We provide comprehensive depositary services to enhance the protection of your clients assets and meet the requirements of Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). We’ve been acting as depositary to UCITS since their introduction in 1989, and the broad knowledge and insight we’ve gained during that time has complemented our non-UCITS depositary knowledge and capability since AIFMD requirements were introduced in 2014.
We are authorized to act as a depositary in major European markets. We will work with you to understand the nature, scale and complexity of your products and develop a solution to ensure we meet our obligations as depositary.
