About Custody
DTC's Custody Service allows you to outsource all or part of your physical securities inventory for
safekeeping. When Regular Custody Services are used in conjunction with DTC's Branch Deposit
Service (BDS), Restricted Deposit Service (RDS), and New York Window (NYW) Service, Custody
participants are able to retain control of their securities without having to handle and secure them.
The Custody Service allows you to deposit securities not traditionally eligible for DTC, including
securities such as customer-registered custodial assets, restricted shares, and certain DTC-ineligible
securities such as certificated money market instruments (MMIs), private placements, and limited
partnerships.
