SIX, the Zurich-based financial infrastructure operator, is expanding its international custody services to the US in a strategy designed to grow the company globally.
René Haag, former SIX senior relationship manager, will lead the new SIX SIS US office; she has an international wealth management background in both Europe and the US.
Javier Hernani, head securities services, said: “In line with its international growth strategy, SIX has now expanded its custody services in the US in order to provide its customers with time zone bespoke support, gather relevant market intelligence across the continent, build up relevant American market know-how and make such know-how available to Swiss, internationally and also locally domiciled clients and prospects.”
Stephan Hänseler, head of SIX SIS, added: “This provides the opportunity for US-based financial institutions to get access to all European and Asian Markets across a broad range of asset classes with one contractual relationship.”
SIX delivers securities services to banks, private banks, wealth managers, broker-dealers and other clients across the global financial sector.
