Respondents are asked to rate their agent lenders across 12 service categories from one (unacceptable) to seven (excellent). Respondents are permitted to rate up to 10 sub-custodians in each country.

Respondents are asked to rate sub-custodians in all countries in which they operate. The performance of sub-custodians is rated separately in each country and published in the April/May issue.

There are two methodologies: unweighted and weighted. The unweighted tables are based on a simple average of all respondents’ views. The weighted tables take into consideration the size of the respondents' assets under custody and how important each service category is considered to be in aggregate.

Sub-custodians are rated by twelve sub-categories, some of which are divided into sub-categories. Sub-category scores are combined into categories for the purposes of working out average scores.

The categories are as follows:

  1. Settlement
