Broadridge Announces Unified Platform As “a Major Shift In Asset Servicing”

Broadridge has announced the integration of several asset servicing functions into a single, real-time, multi-currency platform across capital markets, wealth management, asset management, and global custody.

The global fintech leader stressed that the move is a ground-breaking innovation set to transform 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.

According to the company, 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 claims that its new modular platform will help 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).
