Services for external asset manager

Reliable partnership

Our services are primarily aimed at external asset managers who deliberately outsource operational tasks and who value commitment, discretion, and professional expertise.

You have come to the right place if you

  • rely on careful implementation and clearly defined responsibilities,

  • aim to confidently meet individual client requirements

  • desire a lean yet resilient infrastructure

  • seek an unpretentious custodian bank focused on stability

  • depend on viable solutions even for unusual issues.

If you have client relationships with complex legal or structural characteristics, you can count on our expertise when opening accounts and providing support. For example, in relation to trusts, foundations, or international companies. Thanks to our regulatory setup and expertise, we also support SEC-registered external asset managers and their clients domiciled in the US.
