Now more than ever

trusted partner
has a nice ring to it.

An Authentic Difference ®

Salem Trust was founded to support public pension plans and institutional clients. Twenty years later, we still focus exclusively on:

  • Fire, police and general employee pension plans
  • Institutional clients, including insurance companies, state escrow accounts, municipal VEBAs, corporations, and municipal “rainy day” accounts
  • Taft Hartley plans
  • Endowments and foundations

The success of An Authentic Difference® occurs because we are the only financial services provider to focus on custodial services for public pension plans and institutional clients. Our specialized focus on these two types of clients is a key reason for Salem Trust to be included in requests for proposals (RFPs) for custodial services.

Core Custody Services

Our Core Custody Services provide the foundation for secure, transparent, and reliable asset safekeeping. With a focus on operational efficiency and client confidence, we deliver trusted solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of institutional investors.

Optional Services

Enhance your asset custody experience with our suite of optional services designed to provide added flexibility and support. From specialized reporting to tailored solutions, these offerings empower you to customize your custody strategy to meet your unique needs.

Asset Custody is Our Only Business

Since 1998, Salem Trust has been leading the way in delivering superior service to Governmental and Corporate Institutional Investors alike. Exceeding the expectations of our clients with their asset custody and safekeeping needs is our singular focus. We do this by ignoring conventional thinking to focus on delivering our services with a truly personal touch.

Nearly three decades later, our government and institutional clients still experience securities settlement, safekeeping, recordkeeping and reporting services that are modern, secure, highly personalized, and importantly never routed to a call center. Our approach to service extends to our client’s service partners. We work collaboratively with third party administrators, investment consultants, investment managers, retirees and other stakeholders.

An Authentic Difference happens when clients are treated with real service. This is why clients have been with Salem Trust for an average of 16 ½ years.
