Custodial Fees

    0.02 sec.
Custodial fees
Fees charged by an institution that holds securities in safekeeping for an investor.

Custodial Fees
Fees charged to a client by his/her brokerage for safekeeping services. Safekeeping occurs when the brokerage holds securities on behalf of the client. This reduces the risk of the client losing his/her assets or having them stolen. They are also available to the brokerage to sell at the client's demand. Like a bank, safekeeping provides an investor a place to store assets with little risk. Unlike a bank, brokerages are not allowed to use the items in safekeeping for their own ends. Assets in safekeeping are not fungible for the brokerage because they remain on the client's name. For this reason, brokerages normally charge custodial fees for safekeeping services.
