Custodian bank

In finance, a custodian bank, or simply custodian, refers to a financial institution responsible for safeguarding a firm's or individual's financial assets. The role of a custodian in such a case would be the following: to hold in safekeeping assets such as equities and bonds, arrange settlement of any purchases and sales of such securities, collect information on and income from such assets (dividends in the case of equities and interest in the case of bonds), provide information on the underlying companies and their annual general meetings, manage cash transactions, perform foreign exchange transactions where required and provide regular reporting on all their activities to their clients. Custodian banks are often referred to as global custodians if they hold assets for their clients in multiple jurisdictions around the world, using their own local branches or other local custodian banks in each market to hold accounts for their underlying clients. Assets held in such a manner are typically owned by pension funds.

De custodian is de financiële partij die de effecten bewaart. Waar vroeger aandelen die verkocht werden werkelijk van hand tot hand gingen, is dat tegenwoordig niet meer het geval. De bank houdt giraal de effecten bij, legt alleen het aantal en de soort vast. De fysieke stukken zelf worden bij een aangewezen partij, de custodian, in bewaring gegeven.
