Abstract
Infrastructure related cost is a longstanding problem troubling the securities market. In addition to the service charges paid by investors, the risk associated with the investment chain can reduce the value of assets. Recent cases have shown reductions in value of more than 30%. Pension fund trustees and other investors with bargaining power should pay attention to the small print used in custody contracts.
