Report: Why Leading Custodians Are Outsourcing Class Action Services

The Outsourcing Imperative

Buy or build? Custody providers are asking themselves this age-old business question as clients demand an ever-growing suite of services. As more of these expected offerings fall outside of a custodian’s core competencies, some of the market’s largest players are using trusted partners to deliver a more robust solution for North American and global settled class actions.

Financial Recovery Technologies (FRT) powers class action recovery solutions for three of the five largest global custodians and their clients. These institutions have traded expensive and limited in-house programs for complete offerings that establish class actions as an area of strength – rather than just another low-visibility custody product.  

In our experience, custodians making this investment are able to:

  • Offer a more comprehensive class action solution
  • Improve their operational efficiency
  • Mitigate service delivery risks
  • Out-innovate competitors

FRT has published a special report exploring these trends in the custody market, which we have made available to prospective clients below. If you are interested in discussing further, please contact our team at learnmore@frtservices.com.
