Clearstream, a provider of post-trade services for financial services participants, has reported its aggregated operational metrics for May 2019, which showed a strong performance when weighed against its counterparts a year ago, with specific segments did undergo healthy growth.

Looking to May 2019‎, the value of assets under custody held on behalf of customers registered at Clearstream was reported at €14.04 trillion – this constituted a year-over-year growth of two percent from €13.8 trillion in May 2018.

Likewise, securities held under custody in Clearstream’s international business as an international central securities depository (ICSD) rose slightly to €6.88 trillion in May 2019‎, higher by three percent year-over-year from €6.70 trillion.

In a similar vein, Clearstream’s international business processed 4.8 million transactions during the month ending May 2019, which reflected a rise of 18 percent from 4.1 million transactions in May 2018.

A different pattern was noted across the company’s securities held under custody in the German central securities depository (CSD) which fell in May 2019 to €4.66 trillion, or one percent lower year-over-year from the year prior.

Finally, Clearstream’s Investment Fund Services (IFS) processed 2.4 million transactions during the month ending May 2019‎, which reflected a rise of 20 percent year-over-year from 2.0 million transactions in May 2018.

Clearstream has recently expanded its offering ‎in the funds space by entering the Australian market. The company has reached an agreement with National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) to acquire its Sydney-based specialist managed funds services business Ausmaq Limited.

Clearstream, which also provides post-trade services for financial ‎services participants, agreed to buy 100 percent of SFCL business ‎from Zürcher Kantonalbank. Deutsche Börse-owned international central securities depository has paid a sum in “the high double digit million ‎euro range.”
