Global Custodian Services

The Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB) requires a global custodian for a number of crucial investment administration services and the safekeeping of GESB’s financial assets. Services required include custody and safekeeping, settlements, income collection, corporate actions and proxy voting, accounting and tax, cash management, performance measurement, risk analytics, compliance monitoring and statutory and regulatory reporting.

As a public Request, this may be responded to by any organisation. In order to view the Request and prepare and submit a response, you will need to log in to the RFx Hub web application. If your organisation already has user accounts for the application, you can log in here:
