Example sentence(s):
  • Custody accounts can hold a variety of securities . . .

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  David Young: This looks like a difference between US and British/European usage. Most of the "safe custody" hits look like they are in Europe. Biggest is not always best Charles :-)
