Key CDC Milestones 44
Key CDC Milestones 45 Custodian Model adopted as opposed to historical Broker centric model which had existed before the CSD; Why Custodial Model? Protects the assets of investors since custodians pass a rigorous test for fit. Separation of roles: trading role for stockbrokers and Safekeeping and settlement role for custodians Most custodians are units within international banks, and are subjected to international standards for risk management, and this is unmatched by brokers Beneficial Ownership Model CDC has implemented a beneficial ownership model where securities are registered in the names of the actual beneficial owners as opposed to an omnibus model. Investors' assets are segregated from other investors and their CSD Participant.
