Custody Services

Investors require unmitigated access to as many of their desired markets as possible - albeit on a consolidated single relationship basis

ACS is a Pan African custody specialist, delivering unrestricted access to 25 African securities markets, through both segregated and omnibus structures, as well as to 72 other global markets through our dedicated subcustodian network. Without being held captive to any singlular custody network, managers are better able to diversify their counterparty risk and cost-effectively add new markets on an as-needed basis. By leveraging the ACS fully integrated sub-custody network, clients are afforded access to the best provider in each market, based on independent assessments of service, local footprint, cost, risk management, financial strength and technology. Core custody services include safekeeping, settlement, corporate actions, income collection, proxy voting, tax reclamation services and administration and reporting.

In addition to the firm's core custody services, ACS provides a wide range of market data and information to clients through our weekly reports, market reviews and research from Altree group members. Please follow the link to learn more on ACS's market information and research capabilities.
