TORONTO, June 14, 2021 - CIBC Mellon has won an Outstanding Performance award for the Americas region from Global Custodian Magazine's Leaders in Custody Awards 2021, recognizing outstanding achievement across the Agent Banks surveys.

About Global Custodian's Leaders in Custody Week
Global Custodian launched a week of digital content in June, honouring the outstanding performers from the securities services industry over the past 12 months through five days of documentaries, panel discussions and digital features.
Leaders in Custody Week sees nominees from Global Custodian's annual awards feature in the digital presentations from June 7-11, with all content available on-demand for its global audience.
Founded in 1989, the original focus of Global Custodian magazine was on securities processing operations: articles that explore how shares trade and settle and are held. Its editorial scope has since expanded to include fund administration, securities lending and financing, prime brokerage and the infrastructure of the global securities industry (CSDs, ICSDs, payments systems and other industry bodies and initiatives). The editorial content of the magazine is now also supported by industry-standard surveys that address how the performance of custodian banks, fund administrators, prime brokers and tri-party securities financing providers compare with each other and within individual markets.
