Information Mosaic Highlights New Approach to Managing Sub-custodian Risk at Global Custody Forum 2010

CEO John Byrne to Explore New Opportunities for Sub-custodians as Demand for Transparency Increases

LONDON and NEW YORK, November 30, 2010 - Information Mosaic, a provider of post-trade automation solutions, will
be speaking on sub-custodian risk at the 10th annual Global Custody Forum,
held in London from 30th November to 1st December. As central securities
depositories (CSDs) continue to encroach on traditional custodian territory,
and with risk a bigger factor for all financial firms, custodians must
utilise their unique position at the heart of transactions and provide
customers with increased visibility into assets under management. On day two
of the event, CEO John Byrne will highlight 'New perspectives in managing and
monitoring sub-custodian risk', starting a dialogue around a new approach to
the sub-custodian business model and how custodians can ensure their role
remains not just relevant, but critical to the market.

Pressure from a shifting regulatory regime and market efficiency
initiatives such as Target2Securities and Link Up Markets are seeing business
opportunities shrink, putting sub-custodians under increasing pressure to add
value to an increasingly commoditised industry. To counter this, custodians
must use their unique insight into complex investor relationships to offer a
differentiated service. Investors and regulators are looking for maximum
disclosure on all custodial activity, with systems supporting wider risk
mitigation practices and compliancy efforts. Regulations such as Basel III
are still evolving and the importance of clarity on the value of investments
will become even more critical as firms look to demonstrate compliance as
well as reassure investors, providing the perfect opportunity for custodians
to develop a differentiated service and stand out from the competition.

In his keynote discussion at 11.50am on 1st December, John will outline
how sub-custodians can use their unique position at the heart of investment
relationships to monitor risk, develop new customer-centric offerings and
help restore investor confidence. Extending their remit beyond that of a
transactional factory, sub-custodians can carve a niche as a value-added
information business, adding a layer of user-friendly analysis tools and
improving communications throughout the value chain in order to avoid being
side-lined by larger organisations with greater economies of scale.

The Global Custody Forum 2010 brings together leading players from the
buy- and sell-side from over 20 countries to discuss issues such as risk
mitigation, challenges to the current custodian business model, and what
value-added service options there are. To find out more, please visit
