Taxation and its implications need to be addressed efficiently with changes to existing systems to ensure continuity. Alternate assets and GST being case in point.
In order to ensure process and cost efficiencies, it is imperative to be in control of vendors deliverables
Business demand for multiple custodians can lead to less standard process and controls
Multiple and fluid fee structures lead to dilution of controls and delay in brokerage processing and claw back
