Institutional Custody Services

We view custody service as much more than a simple safekeeping function. Rather, we pride ourselves on a comprehensive, flexible approach that is custom designed to our clients' specific needs.

In addition to providing standard, professional custody services, we further offer our clients:

• Market data
• Windows^®-based client reporting systems
• Cash management sweep vehicles
• Interfaces to investment accounting systems
• Electronic transaction information
• Consultation and industry-tailored client servicing

Relationship Management

We take a consultative, industry-specific team approach to account servicing. Each account is assigned a dedicated trust officer supported by a team of professionals that includes members of senior management and a knowledgeable relationship manager.

Every relationship manager works closely with all team members to provide value-added and custom solutions to help our clients achieve their objectives. As custodian, we have a critical role in helping our clients effectively manage their investments and their resources.

Securities Processing

City National has a strong infrastructure of people, technology, and direct depository memberships. This foundation has enabled us to create a dependable and accurate platform for processing trades, income collections, corporate actions, maturities, transfers, disbursements, proxies and securities pricing.

We have an uncompromising commitment to maximizing efficiency and performing the fundamentals flawlessly to provide our clients with the best custody services available. We have automated the trade settlement process through full utilization of electronic links from the securities depositories to our trust/custody accounting system.

Through our global custody relationships, we can settle your trades on time, anywhere in the world. We also offer one of the best income payment policies available in the marketplace.
