Every quote below names one category in our registered business scope, printed under one of five wires: DESK D for principal dealing, COUNSEL C for client-paid advisory, FUND F for fund and trust management, TRUST T for fiduciary custody, and WIRE W for market infrastructure.
Categories where the company acts as principal — investing, speculating, or dealing for its own account rather than executing for customers.
Customized planning and advisory categories — every one billed directly to the client, none wrapped into a product sale.
Discretionary management categories — funds, trusts, and portfolios run under mandate.
Holding and administering for others — estates, escrow, custodianship, and nondepository trust work.
The machinery markets run on — clearing, transfers, quotations, custody of records, crowdfunding rails, and virtual-currency clearing.
