Mizuho Trust & Banking (Luxembourg) SA

Mizuho Trust & Banking (Luxembourg) S.A. is a Luxembourg credit institution that is part of Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. and ultimately of Mizuho Financial Group, providing custody, depositary, and related agency services to institutional clients. Supervised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), it operates under Luxembourg and applicable EU rules, including the banking framework and the depositary obligations set out for UCITS and AIFs, covering safekeeping of financial instruments, cash flow monitoring, and oversight of fund asset valuation and transactions. The bank’s activities encompass global custody, settlement, corporate actions processing, and recordkeeping for Luxembourg-domiciled investment vehicles, as well as fiduciary and agency roles such as escrow, paying agent, and security agent functions in financing and capital markets transactions. Its client base includes asset managers, fund promoters, financial institutions, and corporates using Luxembourg for fund structuring and cross-border financing. The institution participates in Luxembourg’s deposit guarantee scheme for eligible deposits and implements AML/CFT, sanctions screening, and KYC procedures aligned with CSSF requirements. It is operationally distinct from Mizuho Bank’s Luxembourg banking entity, focusing on trust, custody, and depositary mandates rather than commercial lending, with service scope, onboarding, and fees determined by regulatory obligations and contractual terms.
