SGSS offers custodian services as well as centralising, transfer and valuation agent services for French, Luxembourg, Irish and German ETFs.
SGSS has a team of ETF experts responsible for market monitoring and designing solutions tailored to the activities of ETF providers and their Authorised Participants (APs). This team supports issuers in their ETF launch projects and remains the preferred point of contact throughout the life of the product for monitoring the quality of services, development needs and planned developments.
Two other pillars complete our ETF Servicer system: industrialisation and connectivity. Depending on the issuer’s organisation and operational choices, SGSS is able to support different valuation and primary management models in a high-volume environment, over a very short processing cycle exposed to multiple listings.
All our services are designed to serve our clients and their Authorised Participants, for whom optimised access to the portfolio and primary market are key to the success of an ETF.
This solid foundation gives us the confidence to face future challenges and respond to the issues facing a rapidly growing management sector. Complemented by the services provided by our trading rooms, this enables Societe Generale to count Europe’s leading ETF providers among its clients.
As a custodian, SGSS covers more than 80 countries in custody for a wide range of asset classes that can be integrated into any management strategy (active/passive) and any form of structuring (physical/synthetic replication). Our system has been strengthened with regard to ETFs to enable:
Their secondary listing when the financial markets open.
High-performance access to the primary market for Authorised Participants.
