CCR retained SGSS for its experience as a custodian and valuer of financial assets and, in particular, for its ability to provide a solution aligned with CCR’s quantitative and qualitative requirements.

SGSS will advise and accompany clientele throughout the procedures to ensure they are fully compliant with the requirements of traceability, auditabilityand transparency imposed by the Solvency II directive.
