Richard Hogsflesh, Managing Director of R&M Surveys, said: "Up until recently, high levels of client satisfaction were the domain of the smaller custodians, but not anymore.

Our strong showing in the survey is testament to the expertise and dedication of everyone working within our investment services business during what remain challenging times for our clients, as they seek to manage risk, control costs and keep pace with today's fast-evolving regulatory environment.

"In today's ever more complex investment and operating environment, this latest vote of confidence in our organisation speaks to the breadth of our product offering and our long-term commitment to the investment servicing business, and our unwavering focus on innovation, quality and service excellence."
