Diversifying Risk

There are many ways to diversify risk. They range from varying the asset classes and exposures in the portfolio to having your assets held at multiple banks. Merlin Securities is committed to helping you diversifying your risk at every level.

In a world of increasing real and perceived risk, Merlin believes funds are increasingly looking at their custodial risk in addition to the usual notions of portfolio risk. It is in that spirit that Merlin offers a choice of custodians and an “out of the box” multi-prime solution with J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp, Goldman Sachs (GSEC), and/or Northern Trust.

This allows the fund manager to diversify their custodial risk while offloading the administrative, operational and technology burden of managing multiple primes to Merlin.
