Last year’s Global Investor survey produced a variety of winners with State Street, Pictet Asset Services, RBC I&TS and Citi sharing the global top spots.

In this year’s survey there will be 18 service category tables. Each of these categories is broken down into sub-categories, on which respondents rate their global custodians. 

Respondents are asked to rate their global custodians from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent) in each of the sub-categories.

The overall tables will be presented in the heatmap format introduced last year. Global custodians’ results are presented in alphabetical order with the winning score in each region/category highlighted. 

There are two global columns and regional ones for Emea, the Americas and Asia Pacific (defined by where the respondent is based).

The weighted tables contain a two-stage calculation process, combing stages that allow for the respondents AuM and the importance that the respondents attach to each service category. Unweighted tables will also be presented.
