We also provide custody services to more than 30 funds, for leading global fund sponsors and investment managers. Processing an estimated 450 trades a month, our proprietary hedge fund dealing system, UTMOST, is capable of providing clients and fund promoters with a full trade status report.

  • Execution and fulfillment of trades in alternative investments on behalf of investment managers, on a non commission basis
  • Fully segregated private/institutional client capital and income reporting and valuation (also available for alternative investments)
  • Prompt handling and collection of all trade settlement and investment income to meet cash flow requirements
  • Provision of interest-bearing accounts and fixed term deposits in any major currency
  • Contractual settlement date accounting3 to meet cash management and foreign exchange needs
