Independent depositary services in the UK and Luxembourg

A market wide view of best practice

Our market share means we can compare your performance to over 1,000 other funds on measures that matter - like liquidity management and ESG criteria.

Decades of good governance

We've got over 80 years of experience in trustee and depositary services - one of the first clients we took on in 1935 is still with us today. So whatever challenges your fund faces, it's likely we've seen it before. 

Scalable and sizeable AUM

We currently look after c£400bn in traditional and alternative assets, giving us the capacity, knowledge and experience to support a full range of fund types, sizes and levels of complexity**.

**AUM figures vary with market changes, subscription and redemption levels.

Asking the right questions

Our independence means we're not afraid to challenge you, your custodian, your fund administrator or your transfer agent. You can be sure we'll ask the right questions before the regulator does.

For services in the UK, you choose the custodian

Because we don't bundle with other services, we're not wedded to one provider. So you can choose the custodian that’s right for you from the major providers that we work for.

Governance

It's not something we bolt on to other products. We have over 180 people dedicated solely to trustee and depositary services. That means they don’t miss a beat on industry-wide trends or upcoming regulation, and they'll proactively bring you insights to make your fund more secure than ever.

Know what you're paying for

Not bundling services also means you’re clear where your money’s going, there are no issues cross subsidising one service to the potential detriment of another. One service with one transparent price.
