The best asset management & custody banks datasets for journalists and academics, ranked
Ordered by relevance to citable work first, then Datadory quality score, then access convenience. Each verdict below is written for people whose bylines and bibliographies get audited.
1. Federal Reserve Z.1 Financial Accounts of the United States (Flow of Funds) — Quality 10 and the anchor record: the definitive public-domain account of US financial positions since 1945, with annual series reaching back to 1919 — the standard citation in economic journalism, XML, PDF and HTML.
This is the standard source for banking investigations that name individual lenders.
4. FFIEC Central Data Repository - Public Data Distribution (CDR PDD) — Also quality 10: no-registration access to every US bank's filed Call Report, which makes it indispensable for accountability reporting — a reader can reproduce your table without creating an account.
8. Federal Reserve Data Download Program — Quality 9 and the convenience play: the Fed's own releases repackaged in researcher-friendly bulk form, commercial delivery terms.
9. Eurostat Data Browser — Quality 8 for cross-country context: commercial delivery terms 4.0 official EU statistics with per-dataset metadata, the default citation for European social and economic reporting, JSON and SDMX 2.1 XML.
10. Federal Reserve H.8 - Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks — Quality 9 at relevance 2: a weekly public-domain release running since 1973, and the go-to citation for US commercial-bank deposit and lending aggregates when a story needs the system-wide picture rather than one institution.
Where do you source an individual bank's regulatory filings?
Accountability reporting on a named lender starts with the FFIEC pair. FFIEC Central Data Repository - Public Data Distribution (CDR PDD) gives no-registration access to every US bank's filed Call Report, and FFIEC CDR Bulk Data Download delivers the same per-institution regulatory data in bulk within weeks of each quarter, in Tab Delimited, XBRL and ZIP — both commercial delivery terms, both quality 10. Aggregate them against Federal Reserve H.8 - Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks, the Fed's weekly series on commercial-bank assets and liabilities published since 1973, to show whether one institution's deposit swing tracks the system or breaks from it. For monetary-policy framing, Federal Reserve Data Download Program repackages the Fed's own releases in researcher-friendly bulk form on a weekly cadence. Together the four cover the standard banking-investigation pattern: institution-level filing, system benchmark, policy context.
How should you cite these sources in a paper or on the record?
Several records hand you the citation string outright. Where a source declares no format beyond commercial delivery terms — the Federal Reserve, FFIEC and N-PORT records — cite publishing agency, release name and access date, and quote the downloaded file itself. Seven of the eleven ship CSV (42.1% of the catalog does), which keeps the quoted figure and the archived table identical.
Straight answers
Which cited data sources for academic papers cover asset management?
The Federal Reserve Z.1 Financial Accounts is the canonical citation for US financial positions, with annual data back to 1919, and the BIS Data Portal is the standard reference for global banking and liquidity series.
Where can I find asset management & custody banks statistics for journalism on deadline?
The quarterly quartet (Z.1, FFIEC, N-PORT) anchors trend pieces rather than breaking news.
Which dataset updates often enough for breaking news?
Two.8), three monthly, four quarterly. For a same-day claim, cite the daily pair and date-stamp the series you pulled.
How do I cite the Federal Reserve Z.1 or a FRED series correctly?
Name the publishing agency, the release and your access date: 'Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Z.1 Financial Accounts, accessed [date].' FRED shortens the work — each series page shows copyright flags, and Category 13 pages provide ready-made suggested citations under their Cite tabs.

Seven of the eleven offer CSV, against 42.1% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs. FFIEC adds Tab Delimited and XBRL for per-institution work, the BIS and ECB ship SDMX variants, N-PORT comes as ZIP and TSV, and Eurostat publishes TSV, JSON and SDMX 2.1 XML.
