Investors desire cost efficiency when accessing individual securities markets

Because no single investment grade bank offers a dedicated Pan-African custody platform, investors are ultimately exposed to layered fees and substandard coverage when accessing non-core or non-presence markets through custodian hub and spoke networks.

ACS negotiates freely and aggressively with leading local custodians in each of its underlying markets. In Africa, it aggregates the gross negotiating power of its entire book of business in addition to long-standing relationships so as to pass on very attractive client rates.

ACS consistently delivers the best price in terms of safekeeping, transactional and fund transfer fees.  As such, the firm offers rates at which individual clients are otherwise unable to achieve.
