Holistic Custody Offering: Pillar Of A Thriving Fund Community

Originally published in HFM Week, Guernsey Special Report, May 2012

Keith Johnson and Lisa Haggarty, of Deutsche Bank, explain how fund administrators and investment managers are demanding more from their custody services and require a flexible solution.

The strength and resilience of Guernsey's funds sector continues to bring opportunities for Guernsey-based financial firms and it is increasingly important to have the expertise of locally based custodians to underpin the sophisticated investment fund community.

Having had an established custody service through its Channel Islands o_ces for more than 35 years, Deutsche Bank continues to play a part in positioning Guernsey as a major European centre for custody business and believes strongly that custody is one of a number of crucial pillars that support the fund industry.
