HSBC has claimed a majority of the Australian sub-custody market.
The big banking group announced this week that it now has over 50 per cent market share in Australia based on figures released by the Australian Custodial Services Association (ACSA).
HSBC said the ACSA data showed that it was number one in the market for sub-custody assets, boasting 59.58 per cent market share in assets held for cross-border clients.
Commenting on the data, HSBC head of securities services Peter Snodgrass said the increase in market share was the result of organic growth from the acquisition of new clients as well as increased business from existing clients.
“The growth in cross-border assets has been augmented by increasing demand for our core custody services from domestic asset managers,” he said.
Snodgrass said the group was well positioned to meet growing domestic demand as the scalability of its technology allowed it to handle increased volumes.
The Commonwealth Bank has warned that uncapped superannuation concessions may be “unsustainable” and has called for the introduction of a superannuation cap.
Superannuation funds have posted another year of strong returns, but this time, the gains weren’t powered solely by Silicon Valley.
Australia’s $4.1 trillion superannuation system is doing more than funding retirements – it’s quietly fuelling the nation’s productivity, lifting GDP, and adding thousands to workers’ pay packets, according to new analysis from the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).
Large superannuation accounts may need to find funds outside their accounts or take the extreme step of selling non-liquid assets under the proposed $3 million super tax legislation, according to new analysis from ANU.
