MT538 Scope

This message is sent by an account servicer (account servicing institution) to an account owner or its designated agent. The account servicer may be a local agent (sub custodian) acting on behalf of their global custodian customer, or a custodian acting on behalf of an investment management institution or a broker/dealer.

This message is used to provide the details of increases and decreases in securities with a given status within a holding, ie, inter-position transfers, which occurred during a specified period, for all or selected securities in a specified safekeeping account which the account servicer holds for the account owner.

This message may also be used to respond to a request for statement/status advice, ie, the MT 549 Request for Statement/Status Advice and to report that there are no increases and decreases within a holding.
