RBC Investor & Treasury Services will provide securities lending, global custody, collateral management, fund accounting, transfer agency, cash management, and risk and investment compliance services to Polaris Investment after being named the fund manager’s global custodian.
In operation since February 2004, Polaris is the largest Italian platform domiciled in Luxembourg. It manages in excess of €6 billion of assets belonging to institutional investors.
Professor Alessandro Penati, director of Polaris, noted RBC Investor & Treasury Services’s expertise in fund servicing, securities lending and collateral management as a reason for the mandate.
Mauro Dognini, managing director in Italy at RBC Investor & Treasury Services, added: “This is an important mandate for us with the leading emerging actor in the Italian fund industry.”
