Securities services encompass a range of functions that support the issuance, trading, and safekeeping of financial securities. These services typically include custody, clearing, settlement, fund administration, and corporate actions processing for equities, bonds, and other financial instruments. Providers act as intermediaries, ensuring the efficient and secure functioning of capital markets. The infrastructure and operational expertise behind securities services are fundamental to global financial operations.
