We continually review our network to ensure that it reflects the changing global investment decisions of our clients. The Bank's dedicated, regional network management team monitors local economic, political, regulatory, and industry-related events, and keeps clients apprised of changes in the investment climate of each market. Banks are selected for the network based on a variety of criteria, such as compliance with worldwide regulatory requirements, competitive pricing, general market reputation, SWIFT message capabilities, securities lending support, credit ratings, overall banking relationship with The Bank of New York and ability to consistently meet our clients' needs. Each bank must meet a set of stringent performance standards prior to selection, which are reexamined during quarterly reviews and frequent on-site visits, ensuring that our clients are uniformly provided with the best subcustodian in each market. In its last three annual reviews of subcustodian networks, GSCS BenchmarksTM has ranked our network among the top two in both the Overall Network and Major Markets categories. Our list of subcustodians is as follows: Country/ Market Subcustodian(s) Country/ Market Subcustodian(s) Argentina Banco Rio de la Plata Indonesia HSBC Australia National Australia Bank Ltd.
