To redefine the financial industry's conventional approach to asset servicing (the range of administrative and operational functions that support the management and maintenance of investment assets), global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BR) is introducing a ground-breaking integration of several asset servicing functions into a single, real-time, multi-currency platform across capital markets, wealth management, asset management and global custody. This innovation transforms traditionally fragmented activities and extends well beyond existing industry asset servicing solutions to include tax and performance reporting, cost basis, proxy, class actions, reclaims and a truly global custody platform. The streamlined solution enhances automation, drives straight-through processing benefits, leverages a common data ontology to optimize AI utilization and improves operational accuracy, speed and risk mitigation.
"Broadridge’s new unified platform represents a major shift in asset servicing," said Michael Alexander, President of Wealth Management at Broadridge. “Changes like the transition to T+1 and eventual T+0 settlement cycles and the rise of AI strategies are driving the demand for real-time, standardized data and streamlined, end-to-end operations. Companies have long struggled with challenges such as high costs, delays in processing, risk evaluation, data reconciliation and sub-par service levels. With our trusted expertise and transformative technology, we are uniquely positioned to create a single, best-in-class solution that addresses these issues head-on and can help our clients operate more efficiently in an increasingly digital and data-driven environment."
Broadridge Global Asset Servicing combines over 18 components to deliver unprecedented functionality and a "single gateway" data integration approach. It streamlines the management and maintenance of financial assets, facilitating their safekeeping, accurate transaction processing, and compliance with regulations. Solution features include:
- Modular design to seamlessly support onboarding and the overall experience.
