safekeeping

n.

The act of keeping safe or the state of being kept safe; protection.

The storage of assets or other items of value in a protected area.

Individuals may use self-directed methods of safekeeping or the services of a bank or brokerage firm. Financial institutions are custodians and are therefore legally responsible for the items in safekeeping.

Also known as "safekeep".

Investopedia Says:
Individuals who place an asset in safekeeping are also issued a safekeeping receipt. These receipts indicate that the asset of the individual does not become an asset of the institution and that the asset may be returned to the individual upon request. A fee may be required for these services.

Storage and protection of a customer's financial assets, valuables, or documents, provided as a service by an institution serving as Agent and, where control is delegated by the customer, also as custodian. An individual, corporate, or institutional investor might rely on a bank or a brokerage firm to hold stock certificates or bonds, keep track of trades, and provide periodic statements of changes in position. Investors who provide for their own safekeeping usually use a safe deposit box, provided by financial institutions for a fee. See also Selling Short Against the Box; Street Name.
