Broadridge Extends Multi-Asset Processing Support

The vendor's most recent investments include the addition of commodity-based futures and options to the range of exchange-traded and OTC derivatives currently available on its processing solution. The expanded capabilities also include real-time market connectivity to the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), opening up a pathway to 17 futures and options exchanges, plus connections to a range of central clearing counterparties.

According to Broadridge, the firm's strategy to invest in its unified international processing solution for all major asset groups, including equities, fixed income, money markets and derivatives, comes as capital markets participants seek to streamline their operations across business silos to increase efficiency, enhance risk management, and reduce costs across the enterprise.

Broadridge claims to have recently expanded its global customer base by signing three firms, headquartered in North America, Europe and Asia, that will utilize its multi-asset class processing solution for a range of asset groups, including both securities and derivatives. Each firm will benefit by moving to a more operationally efficient, streamlined processing model, and also by mothballing one or more systems through a move to Broadridge's platform.
