What Is Private Fund Custody?
Private fund custody provides for the safekeeping of fund assets, including securities, cash and qualifying non-traditional or alternative investments. The custodian supports proper asset protection, settlement and movement of assets and funds.
For private funds investing in less conventional assets, the custody relationship can require specialized experience with documentation, transaction processing and asset administration.
