CROSS-BORDER SOLUTIONS.

FUND SERVICES.

Managed funds administration is on the threshold of potentially revolutionary change, driven by the imminent availability of Straight Through Processing (STP) and the advent of an investor driven market. The convergence of these and other market forces are placing mounting margin pressures on fund mangers, compelling them to focus more closely on operational efciencies and customer service in order to remain competitive. Scale in funds under management (FUM) will potentially be less important than service and quality, creating an irresistible drive for nancial service rms to outsource an increasing number of capabilities from their back and middle ofces.
