Services overview
This page explains the activities and process components commonly associated with an institutional securities-services and portfolio-management context. It is educational, not transactional.
Information areas
The exact legal scope of a service depends on authorisation, contractual documentation, client classification and the facts of the individual mandate.
Currency exposure can be analysed across asset classes and mandates, then managed against defined hedge ratios, risk objectives, permitted instruments and reporting requirements. Passive, active and combined approaches may be distinguished by the degree of discretion and the mandate’s objectives.
A reliable process starts by identifying the effective foreign-currency positions of the portfolio. This can involve data from custodians, investment managers, funds and illiquid holdings, together with plausibility checks and reconciliation rules.
Financial portfolio management generally refers to discretionary management of an individual portfolio containing financial instruments. The manager acts within agreed objectives, constraints, powers and controls rather than seeking approval for every individual decision.
Investment brokerage generally concerns the reception and transmission of orders relating to financial instruments. It is distinct from discretionary portfolio management and does not automatically include personal investment advice.
Contract brokerage generally concerns arranging the acquisition or disposal of financial instruments in the name and for the account of another party. The applicable responsibilities depend on the documented role within the transaction chain.
Institutional reporting can include exposure, hedge ratios, positions, maturities, performance attribution, transaction costs, exceptions and compliance with mandate limits. Governance specifies responsibilities, reviews and escalation procedures.
The German terms on this page are presented as general categories. They should not be used to determine the legal classification of a specific activity without professional advice and review of current law, authorisations and contractual arrangements.
