About Citco:

The market leader. The premier provider. The best in the business.

At Citco, we've been the front-runner in our field since our incorporation in 1948 led to the evolution of the asset servicing sector itself.

This pioneering spirit continues to guide us today as we innovate and expand, push beyond the boundaries of our industry, and shape its future.

From working exclusively with hedge funds to serving all alternatives, corporations and private clients, our organization has grown immensely across asset classes and geographies.

For us, this progress is a pattern that we'll only maintain as we move forward, always prioritizing our performance.

Welcome to Citco.
