About the Global Investor/ISF Sub-custody Survey 2020

The annual Global Investor/ISF Sub-custody Survey includes results that represent the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. For each country, there are two tables: weighted, which is weighted by assets under custody; and unweighted, whereby all valid responses for each sub-custodian in a particular country are averaged to calculate the score.
