  • Benefits

Madison Asset also offers asset management services to institutions that have adequate liquid investments but are unable to manage these investments on a day to day basis.

Usually, such clients appoint a custodian who holds the assets on their behalf and then appoint Madison Asset as the fund manager to oversee the day to day management of the investments.

The product line is intended to take the burden of day to day management of investment from corporates whose key mandate is to offer other types of products/services but have little expertise in investment management.

Because the investments are held by a custody bank on behalf of the investor, they are safe and cannot be misused. Further and unlike individuals, when doing investments like purchase of quoted stocks, the custodian will only pay the broker when they have received the stocks – this reduces the chance that money can be lost in the settlement process.
