Global Custodian forum to discuss digital assets, private markets

Global Custodian will hold an Industry Discussion Forum on May 14 in London that brings together custody executives from major banks and infrastructure providers. The panelists are Chris Rowland, head of custody, digital and fund services at State Street; Sam Cauvain-Welsh, head of core product for global custody at JP Morgan; Phil Brown, CEO of Clearstream Bank; and Sinead McIntosh, managing director and head of revenue for financial institutions at Brown Brothers Harriman.

Panel topics include digital assets, private markets, treating data as a strategic asset, regulatory acceleration and the impact of geopolitical developments on financial infrastructure. The discussion will address how custody providers can respond as private markets expand and digital assets see wider use, and how data, regulation and geopolitics are changing custody operations.

The forum will take place in the Lincoln Room at the Savoy Hotel (River Entrance). Registration opens at 4:30 p.m. Chris Lemmon, editor at Global Custodian, will moderate the session. The event will be followed by the presentation of Global Custodian’s Hall of Fame awards to the newest GC Legends. The discussion is open to all Global Custodian readers.

The Industry Discussion Forum series is produced in partnership with Deutsche Bank and has been held for several years to address leading themes in securities services.
