Global Custodian is delighted to announce the introduction of its Leaders in Custody awards for Asia Pacific, to be held at Raffles in Singapore on 25 May. 
The ceremony will honour securities services providers across the Asia Pacific region who have excelled in Global Custodian’s Agent Banks surveys, along with a number of Editors’ Choice, Individual and Innovation awards segments.
Our Innovation awards recognise truly ground-breaking ideas or visions from the securities services industry and you can nominate through this link here for any initiatives stemming from the Asia Pacific region. There will also be a handful of categories covering the Middle East.
The introduction of the event will compliment Global Custodian’s awards in London and New York, currently held in May and November, respectively.
“The Asia Pacific region is an exciting region for securities services, with growth, innovation and market developments occurring each year,” said Jonathan Watkins, managing editor, Global Custodian. “The uptick in participation and number of service providers in our surveys in Asia Pacific countries is a testament to this, and we are incredible excited to recognise those custodians and fund services providers through this dedicated awards evening.”
The survey awards will recognise outstanding achievements across the region for multimarket providers, along with agent banks in individual markets. Our research team has also highlighted outstanding performers as rated by client type – including custodians, offshore clients and asset managers.
There are multiple nominations for the likes of BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, DBS, Standard Chartered and BNP Paribas across all categories, while Mizuho, SBI-SG and ICICI also feature in more than one category.
Other nominated providers include Citi, UBS, National Bank of Egypt and QNB Alahli.
In the coming weeks, Global Custodian will also announce a shortlist for Editors’ Choice awards.
Congratulations to all those nominated.
