{{a|cass|}}A [[sub-custodian]] is a sub-contractor appointed by a main custodian as part of its [[custody network]], to hold [[client asset]]s on behalf of a [[main custodian]] — usually to carry out functions that the main custodian can’t. for example, to hold assets in a jurisdiction where the [[main custodian]] has no licence to do so.
A topic of some recent interest in light of {{tag|AIFMD}} and {{tag|UCITS V}} legislation. Under both regimes a single [[depositary]] must be appointed having strict liability for the safe keeping of assets.  
 
A [[sub-custodian]] therefore doesn’t have a direct [[contract]]ual relationship with the client.<ref>Compare with a ''[[delegate]]'', who carries out the [[main custodian]]’s client-facing function on its behalf, as described below.</ref>
