Each managed account requires a credible financial
institution to safeguard and trade the investment funds on that client's
behalf. All securities are held in the client's name (company, trust, etc.) and
are kept in-trust for safekeeping purposes via a European private bank. ENR can
also suggest several established and highly regulated banks in Denmark, Austria
and Switzerland, offering very competitive fees.
