• Full service account operator

Market infrastructure change, which fundamentally changes post-trade securities settlement processes could present significant benefits.

For example, by harmonizing the cross-border settlement landscape in Europe, Target2-Securities platform provides the ability to meet the demands of regulations such as Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and Undertaking for Collective Investment Schemes V (UCITS V). Market participants should be engaging with the details; a move from theory to practice.

The challenge

Account structures carry important questions about legal ownership, which can be more complex than they appear. Regulations like AIFMD and UCITS V are driving toward asset protection, and therefore segregation of assets with any delegate chosen by a global custodian.

The Deutsche Bank advantage

Our full service account operator includes all the benefits of a standard custody solution combined with a CSD Account in your name. This offers ultimate protection in the event of a potential default as assets are registered directly in your name.

The right level of asset protection can provide efficient recovery of assets in the case of default. Using account operator, you have control of your assets held at the CSD as well as being visible in the market.
