Use Case: Custody Holdings API

 - Access real-time data to actively monitor your custody holdings throughout the day -

Either as a custodian's client or as a custodian bank serving the needs of your asset managers or asset owners, you benefit from higher visibility on the latest custody holdings information as a value to manage portfolios more efficiently. 

Currently, activities to be performed for data collection about custody holdings are time-consuming and might make it challenging to meet demands and timelines.

Data is requested on a daily basis to verify that custody positions and transactions reconcile with your internal records. For example, by the end of each business day, either you rely on the SWIFT network or your custodian services (via email) to obtain information about your position holdings across safekeeping accounts, list of  custody holdings and securities transactions. 

And still, once the data extracts are received, manual reconciliation activities have to be performed between the custody positions and the transactions held in your internal system.

With the Custody Holdings APIs, we provide real-time access to detailed information about your custody holdings positions across accounts and enhance visibility, thereby achieving higher flexibility to respond to rapid changes in the macro landscape. This way, improving your day-to-day management of transactions and achieve higher profitability through immediate decision-making on liquidity and investments.

Moreover, information about investment positions is reported in well-consolidated data sets to ensure that back-end operations can easily conduct reconciliation of internal system records. Hence, you reduce the dependency on custom data feeds and better manage operational risk. 

Through our API, automatic queries can collect the relevant information, thereby reducing the likelihood of human errors during data retrieval activities. APIs retrieve data in data formats that allow for interconnectivity across systems, so that you can aim for the investment book of records to be updated at higher frequency.
