Clearstream has released mainly positive results for July 2015, including a 10 percent increase in assets under custody.

Overall assets under custody reached a €13.5 trillion, 10 percent more than last July’s figure, which reached €12.2 trillion.

Securities under custody in the international central securities depository (ICSD) reached €7.2 trillion, an increase of 11 percent compared to €6.5 trillion in July 2014.

Those in the German central securities depository (CSD) reached €6.2 trillion, an increase of 9 percent on last year’s figure of €5.7 trillion.

For 2015, year-to-date, the combined value of assets under custody in the German and international CSDs totalled €13.3 trillion, 10 percent more than in the same period in 2014, which reached €12.1 trillion.

The ICSD saw a very slight dip in settlement transactions. In July 2015, the ICSD processed 3.6 million transactions, 1 percent less than July 2014, which saw 3.7 million transactions processed.

Of these, 83 percent were over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, and 17 percent were on the stock market.

On the domestic CSD, 8.2 million settlement transactions were processed, a 6 percent increase on the 6.6 million processed in July 2014.

Of these, 38 percent were OTC transactions and 62 percent were stock exchange transactions.

Year-to-date July 2015, the combined number of settlement transactions, taking in to account both OTC and stock exchange transactions and the German CSD and ICSD, reached 82.8 million. This is a 13 percent increase compared to the same period in 2014, which reached a total of 73.6 million transactions.

This growth was partially attributed to the investment fund services business, which processed 5.1 million transactions year-to-date 2015, an increase of 18 percent, compared to the same period in 2014, which saw a total of 6 million.

In July 2015, the investment fund services business 900,000 transactions, a 14 percent increase over July 2014’s figure of 800,000.

In its global securities financing business, Clearstream saw a monthly average outstanding of €600.8 billion in June 2015. This represents a 3 percent dip compared to €619.5 billion in July 2014.

However, year-to-date the global securities financing monthly average outstanding has grown by 4 percent, reaching an average of €620.9 billion, compared to €595.7 billion in the same period in 2014.
