Custody

Linear’s custody services are meticulously designed to cater to the needs of small and mid-market clients who require robust protection for their financial assets. Our services are compliant with the FCA CASS rulebook, ensuring that client assets are securely ring-fenced away from Linear’s operational funds.

Safety and Security:

We utilise a network of Tier 1 banks through sub-custodian partners. This infrastructure also supports the integrity and safety of transactions across a diverse suite of financial instruments. This allows our clients to take a flexible approach to their investment decision-making while having the assurance of a regulated custody account for investor and manager peace of mind. In addition to traditional custody services, Linear provides specialised fixed-income clearing services. This offering is useful for clients engaged in significant bond trading, providing them with streamlined and efficient clearing solutions that enhance their trading operations.

Regulatory Compliance:

Linear ensures that all custody services fully comply with relevant regulations and standards, providing clients with peace of mind and security in their investment operations. Our internal compliance team supports Linear’s client onboarding, deal flow and middle and back-office functions to ensure internal regulatory governance and risk policies are complied with for every trade.

Accessibility and Support:

Our custody services are backed by comprehensive support systems, ensuring that clients can manage their accounts effectively. We have a fully operational in-house sales and support function, with each account being allocated its own account manager to ensure strong and lasting relationships can be formed, where your Linear contact understands your business needs and requirements, reducing the amount of time our client needs to allocate to each transaction. With easy access to account information and a dedicated support team, clients can quickly access data they may need.
