custody risk
The risk of loss of securities held in custody occasioned by the insolvency, negligence or fraudulent action of the custodian or subcustodian. Even if an appropriate legal framework is in place, which eliminates the risk of loss of value of the securities held by the custodian in the event of its failure, the ability of participants to transfer the securities might be temporarily impaired.
