Fund Guides: Luxembourg, Ireland, Hong Kong and Singapore
Discover our local fund expertise and dedicated suite of services
In today’s competitive environment, asset managers have reinforced their fund distribution in their domestic markets and diversified their clients base in new markets. Your business needs to grow in a complex, multi-jurisdictional environment marked by stringent regulations, pressure on costs, and increased distribution monitoring and data needs.
At BNP Paribas, Distribution Services and Transfer Agency are an important component of our suite of services for institutional investors. We continuously invest to support our clients’ business growth, not only with a domestic perspective but with a focus on cross-border distribution.
Cross-border fund distribution services and multi-local transfer agent services
Fund distributors are looking for more efficient and innovative methods to sell funds across different markets.
We understand that our asset manager clients are looking at new areas of growth and encountering difficulties in entering new markets without a physical presence. Fund distributors need significant operational resources and expertise to follow different market practices in all of the countries in which their funds are domiciled.
With a range of services and a partnership approach, we support your international ambitions through our multi-local fund distribution services to increase your investor base and help you make the most of growth opportunities across the globe.
With our on-the-ground presence and expertise, our extensive global network and proximity to all industry players across regions, we can help you succeed in your international sales strategy and access new markets.
Leverage a transfer agent specialist to drive efficiencies
Functions such as settlement, reconciliation, rebate fee management, corporate actions, investor reporting and data management can represent a significant challenge from a cost and profitability perspective. Another challenge is to access and aggregate data from a range of sources across markets and distribution channels, in order to analyse fund performance and flows at market, portfolio and fund level.
At BNP Paribas, we have invested in dedicated systems and operations for a fully integrated record keeping and workflow technology solution, including a secure online platform (NeoLink) for data processing and reporting.
Outsourcing transfer agency services to a specialised provider like us can enable you to control your cost base so you can dedicate your resources to sales and product development and front-end innovation.
