Fund Custodians

Fund Custodians

The overall purpose of WSANDN Fund Custodians is to oversee and safeguard the assets held within a Fund. This includes ensuring compliance with regulations, accurately recording and following up transactions, and maintaining proper documentation. Fund Custodians play a crucial role in protecting the interests of The WSANDN, communities and designated constituencies by providing transparency and accountability in the management of Funds. They are responsible for safekeeping assets, processing transactions, and reporting on the financial status of the designated Fund to relevant stakeholders. Fund custodians also help to mitigate risks associated with fund management by implementing robust internal controls and procedures.
