Custody Services | Global Finance Names the World'sBest SubcustodianBanks of 2015.
NEW YORK, May 7, 2015 —Global Financemagazine has announced its thirteenth annual awards for the World’s Best Subcustodian Banks. A full report on the selections will appear in the July/August issue of Global Finance.
Global Finance’s editorial board, making use of market research, input from expert sources and entry information from banks, selected the winners from theinstitutions that reliably provide the best services in local markets and regions to global custodians. Our criteria included customer relations, quality of service, competitive pricing, smooth handling of exception items, technology platforms, post-settlement operations, business continuity plans and knowledge of local regulations and practices.
“Subcustodial institutions face a vastly increased focus on due diligence not only from their custodial and prime broker clients, but also from their clients’ fund manager clients—as a result of global anti-money-laundering, sanctions screening, know-your-customer, and, importantly, KYCC regulations. As such, custodians seek out those subcustody banks that are the safest and have the most in-depth knowledge of local markets and regulatory regimes,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance. “With these awards we evaluate those banks that do the best job of asset servicing and protection in increasingly complex global markets.”
