Excellence and Stability

We consider that the roles of a global custodian and investment advisor are to safeguard investors' assets and to manage the risks associated with safekeeping securities, settling transactions and collecting all entitlements.

We also believe that a resourceful advisor is one who:

 

  • Promotes a strong risk management culture
  • Recognises that client satisfaction forms an integral part of achieving long-term business objectives
  • Demonstrates a track record of excellence, commitment and stability


Commitment is not just about investing money in technology. It is equally about investing in people and relationships. Pictet has built its reputation by gaining the trust of its clients and their asset managers. Crucially however the Bank understands it must first earn the confidence of its workforce. The loyalty and professionalism of our employees are fundamental qualities inherent to our culture and on which our reputation is founded.


Why select Pictet as Global Custodian

Pictet ranked among the best global custodians in the worldPictet has consistently been ranked one of the leading quality providers of Global Custody in industry surveys for more than 20 years. This is the result of our long-standing commitment to provide each client with services tailored to their respective needs. This emphasis on quality has again been underscored in the most recent industry surveys.

 

"In an industry of such huge players, the smaller firm has shown once again that size is not everything and with second place rankings in all but two of the categories, it is clear that Pictet is a leading player."
