Nordic Financial Institutions

Since 1856 we have supported and developed products and services in close collaboration with our clients. Drawing on our extensive experience, we offer a wide range of solutions and expertise that meet the needs and requirements of our clients. 

Our Investor Services offering and how we can support you

Global custody

With our global custody services, all the key functions expected of a global custodian are provided as standard. With a network of sub-custodians covering more than 85 markets, we help our clients meet the challenges of cross-border investing and actively promote global standards for efficiency and risk management. Our global custody solution is supported through a close partnership with BBH.

Depositary services 

We provide depositary services to investment funds that require a depositary. Our offering includes oversight and control, cash monitoring, and safekeeping for funds domiciled in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Luxembourg. The types of funds include UCITS, non-UCITS, and AIFs. The depositary service is typically offered in conjunction with global custody. 

Fund execution

With our fund execution service, we facilitate fund orders for all types of open-ended funds from around the world. We handle the entire process, from order capture to booking on the client's custody account, including FX. This service is fully integrated with our global custody offering. 

Agency securities lending

Our agency securities lending service is designed for custody clients who wish to participate in a third-party securities lending programme. The service provides access to an experienced external securities lending agent, who, through an automated and transparent lending programme, optimizes distribution, trading coverage, and execution –while offering the security, support, and central services of SEB. 

Alternative investment services

Our alternative investment services facilitate the administration and infrastructure needed to manage illiquid alternative investments. The service includes handling cash flows, look-through reporting, risk and performance analysis related to the investment, as well as providing accounting statements. SEB will record the investment and enable our clients to track and control investment data through notifications and reporting. The service is based on AI technology, allowing us to efficiently access unstructured data from investment documentation. 

Collateral services 

Our collateral services are provided to financial institutions and corporates involved in derivatives transactions or other trading products requiring collateralization. On behalf of our clients, we act as an independent, full-service provider of collateral management. The service can be used in relation to cleared and non-cleared OTC derivatives, listed derivatives, securities lending, and repos to cover exposure to a single counterparty or a multitude of counterparties, tri-party agents, clearing brokers, or CCPs. 

Risk and valuation services

Our Risk and Valuation Services team delivers a suite of products that includes portfolio valuations, portfolio market risk analysis (including scenario analysis and stress testing), comprehensive liquidity and limit analysis, as well as a service for automated share class hedging. Our clients can access the results visually through reports or our web portal. Additionally, the data can be integrated into their own systems or those of their back-office partners via relevant text files. 

Derivatives clearing

Our derivatives clearing service is the leading clearing solution in the Nordic region. With our service, Nordic clients can trade and clear derivatives on more than 50 exchanges worldwide, while still benefiting from our local expertise. We offer clearing for all relevant asset classes – equities, fixed income, currency, and commodity derivatives.

Foreign exchange

Trade execution in the foreign exchange markets is extremely efficient. However, there are still a surprising number of manual pre-trade FX processes at both our corporates and investor clients. As a leading Nordic FX Bank, we provide technologies and solutions that can help you eradicate these risks.

Business Arena

We believe that a world of constant change requires flexible solutions. Business Arena allows you to gather all your services in one place, providing a better overview and deeper insights about your business.
