“Global Custodian is an industry leading publication, and we are incredibly honored to win these awards. We endeavor to do the best for our clients, by supporting their investment activities and interests across multiple, diverse markets. Account management is something we prioritize and have done for a long time, and we are glad our efforts have been recognized by Global Custodian and the wider industry,’ said José Manuel Ortiz, Head Securities Services, SIX.

José Manuel continued: “On asset safety and risk management, working with a robust, well-capitalized and experienced provider, such as SIX, is all but essential for clients nowadays. Our hands-on approach to asset safety and risk management is critical, given how erratically markets are behaving right now.” 

It Has Been a Busy Period for SIX, Following a Number of High-Profile Product Launches

SIX has been strengthening its European custody operations, firstly by getting a local custody foothold in Spain following its BME acquisition, and also in Greece, through a securities service’s partnership with Piraeus. Our operations in Asia have also been expanded.

In April 2025, SIX unveiled its Digital Assets and Regulatory Tax Service, a unique data solution which allows financial institutions to assess whether more than 80,000 crypto-related instruments, such as tokens or blockchain-based assets – fall under the scope of regulatory and tax requirements. 

“The Global Custodian Award for Best in Class Data Services comes as we continue to roll out exciting new data products for clients. We are constantly striving to deliver a cutting edge digital and data service for clients, to make their operations as seamless as possible,” said Marcus Harreus, Head Commercials, Securities Services, SIX.

SIX is no stranger to success at the Global Custodian awards, having picked up four of the top prizes in 2024, for Best in Class Data Services; Best in Class Technology; Best in Survey; and the Award for Consistent Excellence in Switzerland.

In 2024, SIX received the top ratings from Global Custodian in all areas of the ICSD and CSD categories, and also exceeded the average in all 13 best in class categories. Top ratings were given for Relationship Management with 6.79, client service with 6.77, and account management on 6.66, underlining our commitment to client service.
