The Place of Safekeeping functionality in the settlement instructions is only to be used by global custodians that allow their clients to specify where the securities are to be held, eg, in an ICSD account versus an account at the local CSD.
:94F::SAFE//NCSD: a NCSD's BIC will be used for domestic and NCSD to NCSD settlement instructions.
:94F::SAFE//ICSD: an ICSD's BIC will be used for ICSD internal, ICSD/local and ICSD to ICSD settlement instructions.
:94F::SAFE//CUST: applicable, for instance, when the account servicer is a global custodian and provides the account owner with a position reporting at global custodian's agents' level. When instructing, the fund manager would therefore mention, as a place of safekeeping, the BIC of the global custodian's agent on the market.
The place of safekeeping info is kept by the account servicer (SLA, account structure, ETC.) and should not be provided by the account owner.
The place of safekeeping is the counterparty's place of settlement field 95P::PSET//. The transaction is therefore domestic (to an NCSD) or internal to an ICSD.
