ACSA Chief Executive, Robert J Brown said the fall in total assets under custody was largely a result of market valuation impacts.The spike in transactions reflected the level of activity by underlying institutions adjusting their portfolios in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“According to a recent ACSA member survey, 82 per cent of asset servicing professionals are working from home. At the same time we have witnessed record volumes of transactions in the market. Despite the obvious challenges, there has been minimal disruption to service provision,” Mr Brown said.
