We provide more than just the traditional custodial services to Canadian pension funds, mutual funds, corporations, government, insurance companies, foreign insurance trusts, foundations and foreign financial institutions whose clients invest in Canada. We help our clients increase operational efficiencies, manage risk, and increase performance by offering value-added products such as:

• multicurrency accounting, reporting and settlement in 78 countries

Using the foreign exchange trading desks of both Mellon and CIBC allows us to provide a seamless service that supports our clients' global trading activities. Our expertise with spot, forward and option contracts in Canadian, U.S. and other foreign currencies means we are a one-stop-shop for foreign exchange.

Investment management services through Mellon Institutional Asset Management and TAL provide expertise in all asset classes, across diverse investment styles and include both domestic, U.S. and global capability to suit the needs of any plan sponsor.

When CIBC Mellon clients need a transition management specialist we bring them together with Mellon Transition Management Services. Transition management is a specialized form of trading that reduces the costs associated with trading out of one portfolio of securities into another. When institutional investors change investment managers, mergeplans, or have decided that a shift in asset allocation is necessary they should consider engaging a transition manager.
