Our custody model is like a single tree. It's easy to know which leaves and branches belong to whom because it's still there, standing strong. There's no need to process that tree into lumber because you can simply count the leaves.

Custodia offers segregated custody and is a bank, not a trust company. This means that in the event of bankruptcy, your assets remain legally yours.

To make this easier to understand, let's use a metaphor: think of a forest, then imagine a single tree. In bankruptcy, the court treats that forest as harvested lumber. Even if you owned one tree or several, it's difficult to know which boards came from your tree vs. others.

Most of the industry offers omnibus custody. Most also use the legal framework of a trust. In 2023 we saw what can happen when a trust company fails--customers can face haircuts due to preferences, delays & general uncertainties of bankruptcy.
