Here at GIS UK, we provide clearing services, acting as the liaison between investors and clearing houses concerning the delivery of stock, options, etc. and the transfer of funds. This ensures that transactions are settled as quickly as possible, making funds and stock available at the touch of a button. As a fast-moving, forward-thinking company, we quickly adapt to the latest technological and regulatory challenges, determined to stay one step ahead.
The FCA has regulated our clearing and settlement services since 2005, and we have been a member of the London Stock Exchange since 2009. While our record speaks for itself, over 250,000 transactions settled with a value of more than £50 billion over the last three years, we are constantly looking at ways to enhance the clearing services that we provide.
What are safe custody services?
Clearing and safe custody go hand-in-hand, each an integral part of the settlement process. As a custodian, we have developed and maintained solid relationships with tier 1 custodians across the globe. This ensures that client assets are secure with regular reconciliations, corporate actions management, and real-time settlement and status reporting.
We live in an investment world where settlement is instant and electronic; stock can be delivered at the press of a button, and funds transferred just as quickly. As a result, custody services, including custody banking, are a vital cog in the overall process, supporting the integrity of investment markets.
International clearing and safe custody
We have offices in London and Hong Kong, providing an international clearing and settlement system second to none. This takes in developed markets, frontier markets and the growing access to Chinese securities listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Our custody services support global multi-asset trade execution across:-
- Currencies
- Equities
- Fixed income
- Government securities
- Derivatives
- CFD’s
- Spread bets
Transparency and regulation is the key to any clearing and safe custody system. We are proactive rather than reactive when implementing new technology and adapting to new regulations. Our services have attracted small to medium-sized institutions, family offices, hedge funds and high net worth individuals.
Custody and settlement services in frontier markets
In recent times, frontier markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam have attracted the attention of international investors. This is an area where we have specific expertise, a deep understanding of local markets and the contacts to remain proactive rather than reactive. In addition, our Hong Kong office can provide 24-hour/five-day coverage and support services, enhancing our global reach.
International execution only services are only as good as the custody and settlement services that support them. By embracing change adapting to new technology and regulations, we remain at the cutting-edge of clearing and custody services. We see our ongoing investment in FinTech solutions as an integral part of our future and ability to provide forward-thinking modern-day services.
