What Manages means at Volans

Asset Services ensures assets are serviceable, visible, and usable—so liquidity can be established, trades can settle cleanly, and global opportunity can be acted on without operational friction.

In practice, this includes:

  • Asset administration across supported markets and structures

  • Settlement and execution connectivity

  • Multi-currency cash solutions and Foreign Exchange (FX)

  • Corporate actions and lifecycle events handled cleanly

  • Reporting built for governance, oversight, and audit trails

Core capabilities

1) Custody support and asset administration

Servicing designed to meet professional standards:

  • Safekeeping and servicing across supported markets

  • Eligibility mapping (including conservative rules for what can be pledged)

  • Corporate actions processing (notifications, elections, entitlements)

  • Clean handling of portfolio lifecycle events and account structures

  • Portfolio visibility suited to sophisticated balance sheets

2) Global execution and settlement connectivity

So portfolios can be repositioned without drag:

  • Connectivity to global market access (subject to client configuration)

  • Robust settlement workflows designed for professional use

  • Multi-currency settlement and cash synchronisation

  • Operating support for complex portfolios and multi-entity structures

3) Multi-currency cash management — including “cash out”

Cash is not an afterthought. It is a core capability.

  • Multi-currency cash balances and controls across supported currencies

  • FX conversion and cash mobility aligned to portfolio needs

  • Clear visibility over cash positions, movements, and purpose

  • The ability to access cash without selling long-term holdings, where appropriate—supporting tax obligations, education, business investment, property bridging, and family commitments

4) Reporting built for governance

Clarity that stands up to scrutiny:

  • Audit-friendly activity records across holdings, cash, FX, and servicing events

  • Exposure, concentration, and currency views

  • Committee-ready reporting for advisers and governance-led structures

  • A single, intelligible record of what happened, when, and why

Supported asset classes

Volans is designed for diversified, multi-asset portfolios. Depending on custody and execution configuration, supported holdings may include:

  • Listed equities (Australia and global)

  • ETFs and listed funds

  • Fixed income (where supported)

  • Cash and cash equivalents

  • FX and multi-currency balances

  • Commodities exposure (where supported) — e.g., listed commodity funds/ETCs and/or exchange-traded commodity markets

  • Structured exposures (where supported) — e.g., options, futures, warrants, structured notes, or other exchange-traded derivatives used for hedging or portfolio management

Availability, eligibility, and treatment for servicing and credit purposes vary by jurisdiction and client structure. Volans applies conservative controls to what can be serviced and what can be pledged.

Why it matters

Most friction in sophisticated wealth is operational: fragmented providers, slow settlement, opaque cash, and reporting that doesn’t match governance.

Volans Asset Services removes that friction—so your balance sheet can operate as one system:

  • Assets remain serviceable

  • Cash is visible and controlled

  • Reporting is intelligible

  • Capital stays deployable across borders
