Every investment account needs a secure and reliable place to keep its securities and cash. Custodial services are offered by trust companies, broker/dealers and other types of financial institutions. These firms hold your assets and typically offer services such as managing your cash, settling trades and reporting.
But there are significant differences in the way each type of custodian treats your assets. Choosing the right one can be especially important when markets are volatile or the economy is unsteady.
