Asset Services

Support Throughout the Lifecycle of a Security

We help issuers, agents, financial intermediaries and other market participants manage critical operational activities throughout the securities lifecycle. Our centralized infrastructure connects the organizations and data involved in bringing securities to market, servicing assets after issuance and communicating event information to investors. 

From establishing securities for depository eligibility and book-entry processing to maintaining custody records, distributing issuer communications, processing corporate actions and supporting tax-related services, Asset Services provides a common framework for managing complex, high-volume workflows.

Our services create greater efficiency and consistency across global markets while helping securities move from issuance through ongoing servicing in a controlled and resilient environment.
