PENSCO Offers Custodial Services for Alternatives

PENSCO launched PENSCO SuccessorCustodian.

SuccessorCustodian enables institutions to easily transfer or remediate entire classes of alternative assets to PENSCO, which specializes in holding and administering complex alternative assets in tax-advantaged retirement accounts. The solution simplifies the remediation process through streamlined workflow and electronic document processing.   

The company says state and federal regulators are directing wirehouses and broker/dealers to find independent, successor custodians for tens of billions of dollars of alternative investments in client retirement accounts. Regulators want financial institutions to designate independent custodians to hold those client accounts to ensure that alternative assets in IRAs and other tax-qualified plans remain in tax and regulatory compliance.
