Christian Wutz, Head of Coverage, Marketing and Solutions at SGSS in Germany, adds: "We are pleased to have ebase as part of our global clients base. This new mandate is a significant step for SGSS on the German market, as it reinforces our role as global custodian in Germany.

Our approach with MFEX is in line with SGSS's platform strategy to integrate the services of various providers to offer our clients best of class modular solutions and products."
