Custody

"Arqaam's custody services offers clients a best-in-class platform for the secure settlement and safekeeping of client funds"

Arqaam Custody is responsible for the safeguarding of our clients funds and assets, across a variety of international markets.  Arqaam Custody also provides Clearing services for its clients on the Nasdaq Dubai.

Arqaam Custody provides a cross product, cross border, custodial offering and has, over the last 2 years, increased its activity in both the "traditional" securities markets such as Eurobonds & the ADX/DFM, as well as the more exotic/developing areas such as OTC Derivatives and Listed Derivatives. The team continues to explore new offerings so that our clients have the broadest set of risk management tools available to them.

Since obtaining an extension to our licence Arqaam Custody has focussed on building a strong infrastructure, which is not only secure for our clients but also transparent and cost efficient. One of the key milestones has been to establish an impressive array of clients from various sectors including insurance, banking, commerce and private families.  We have also developed a number of strong regional brokerage and sub-custodian relationships, all of whom are ranked amongst the best in both the region and globally.

With an operations team that has over 20 years of experience we understand the key to any good custodian is not just the ability to safe keep assets, but also to accurately store, manage and produce information for our clients. To this end, over the last year there has been a great deal of work in developing our systems such that all reports and trade confirmations are now fully automated. In our goal to establish an STP environment we continue to develop our capabilities through projects such as SWIFT and an automated reconciliation platform, both of which are expected to go live shortly.
