Collateral Management Services

CEPS Security’s collateral management services consist of receiving physical commodities into storage and retaining control over them until CEPS Security is instructed to release them in accordance with predetermined terms of agreement. Physical control is achieved by obtaining and regulating technical and security aspects of the storage facilities in accordance with CEPS Security internal warehousing standards. Legal control of the storage facilities is secured through the execution of a lease and / or storage agreement with the owner of the facilities.

Additional services such as sampling, distribution and insurance of the goods in storage are available upon request. Unless local legislation or the agreement requires that documents of title be issued, receipt of the physical commodities into storage by CEPS Security. is evidenced by the issuance of non-negotiable warehouse receipts.
