Today, the world’s largest global custodians — slightly more than a handful of major services providers — define the marketplace. The changing landscape promises to heighten competition and drive the creation of new, innovative service offerings. Contributors to the 2009 Profiles edition are:

• BNY Mellon Asset Servicing
• BNP Paribas Securities Services
• HSBC Securities Services
• J.P. Morgan
• The Northern Trust Company
• RBC Dexia Investor Services

The 2009 Profiles edition provides a solid basis for understanding the wide-ranging services offered to the investment community of hedge fund managers, asset managers, pension funds, endowments, and many other professional investors. It is the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the subject matter available in the marketplace. Buttonwood’s experience in probing the service providers and highlighting those important developments in service offerings is unique in the industry.

In 2007, industry consolidation resulted from two sizeable deals: The Bank of New York and Mellon Financial Corporation merged; State Street acquired Investors Financial Services Corporation and their wholly-owned global custody subsidiary, Investors Bank & Trust.

Our experience with these matters was the basis for the decision to make 2008 an off-year for the Profiles edition. A discussion of the industry’s service profiles – while two major global custodians were in the process of a significant integration effort - would have been of limited value to our readers. There was simply too much change taking place to provide a meaningful snapshot in time.
