RBC Dexia Investor Services has been ranked No.1 overall in the Global Investor 2007 Global Custody Survey.

This marks the record fourth consecutive year that RBC Dexia has claimed the survey’s top ranking, which is based on feedback from institutional investors about the quality of service they receive from their global custodians.

“We are absolutely delighted that our clients have voted us the world’s top global custodian four years in a row,” said José Placido, CEO of RBC Dexia Investor Services, in a news release. “When we announced our joint venture nearly two years ago, we vowed that client service would continue to be a top priority going forward. These results underscore our employees’ resounding success in delivering on that promise of service excellence during the process of bringing our two companies together.”

  • No.1 by North American Respondents;

  • No.1 by European Respondents;

    “This is the fourth year running that RBC Dexia has scooped the top award, the first time that has been achieved since the Global Investor Custody Awards started,” said Caroline Allen, Editor of Global Investor magazine. “Given that the results are driven by client ratings, it is a real endorsement of the firm’s standing in this sector.”
