Description
What is a custodian?A custodian in a financial market is an intermediary service firm that keeps securities for safekeeping and administers on behalf of third-party clients like mutual funds, AMCs, Hedge funds, and private equities firms. Custodial services are critical to the smooth operation of financial markets.Custody as an industry originated with investors needing to keep securities certificates in a secure location, typically a bank with large vaults. As the financial markets have become more complex, custody has evolved into a trillion-dollar industry providing a range of information, accounting, and fund administration services.Why are custodians essential?In a world where assets are rising in value and distribution, the need for a safe mechanism to handle them is becoming increasingly important. Particularly now that digital, more intangible assets like bitcoin are rising. Banks are beginning to provide custodial services to address these trends. Custodian banks have played a significant role in their expansion since the early colonies in the United States as holders of the money required to create and grow the country.According to the global custody services market analysis, the global elderly population is growing substantially and is likely to continue during the forecast period. By 2030, the population aged 65 and older in the United States is predicted to reach around 70 million, with similar trends noted in other regions of the world. This raises the demand for custodians to manage funds and provide securities services. The worldwide custody services market is predicted to increase at an 8.8% annual pace from $32.22 billion in 2020 to $49.10 billion in 2025.
