Securities Custody

Safekeeping + Recordkeeping + Reporting = Secure + Accurate + Reliable

Case Studies

Problem

Solution

Too Many Portfolios

Problem

Samantha is a smart CFO for a complex non-profit.  She has all the organization’s “eggs” counted.  But there are lots of accounts and different money managers.  Every account has different reporting.  With her workload, she struggles to find the time to track all the accounts.

Solution

Mission Trust implements multi-tiered investment accounting and reporting.  We consolidate the organization’s complex entities into just a few collective accounts. The result?  The organization saves money, time, has more alternatives for money managers, and new opportunities for size discounts in its contracting.

Offshore Domicile

Problem

A Wall Street brokerage firm announces it will no longer service offshore captive insurance companies.  The money manager needs to find a new custodian flexible enough to accept these very different end-client portfolios.

Solution

Mission evaluates the regulatory risks and pre-flights the specifics with our regulator.   We custom-tailor policies and procedures.  The result? The offshore entities experience no break in service and the money manager keeps them as clients.

Conserving Expenses

Problem

Sister Mary Alice is the treasurer for a congregation of Catholic nuns.  She has no inside experience with securities markets, but appreciates trustworthy partners.  She wants to reduce the investment costs for her congregation, which must ensure its retirement fund is sufficient for its members.

Solution

Imagine identifying new payment sources to eliminate all out-of-pocket custody costs.  Mission Trust uncovers substantial dollars to pay for custody services.  The result?  A more secure retirement for members.

Conservative Fiduciary Culture

Safety and Security

Above everything else, you count on your assets to be there when you need them.

Client Kudos

“I wanted to tell you how professional, efficient, and dedicated Cyndi has been.  I truly appreciate her fast responses to questions, her late night emails, and the manner in which she dealt with critical transactions. Without her hard work and professionalism, I do not think we could have been able to do our work effectively. ”
