Connectivity

Together, we go beyond

Connecting with the potential of new investment ecosystems, technology and data is key to realising your ambitions in a changing world.

Beyond borders: connecting you to local markets

Securities Services goes beyond a single platform or one-size-fits-all approach. We offer adaptive solutions to fit our clients’ current infrastructure and future ambitions. Through our connectivity to industry-leading fintechs, market infrastructure, data providers and tech platforms we enable clients to go beyond traditional industry siloes and access new sources of information and investment to shape your future success.

More than ever, asset managers need to access local markets to distribute funds efficiently and diversify your investor base. As market practices constantly evolve, we know you need up-to-date operational expertise and resources to sell funds where you want, when you want.

Through our extensive coverage in 17 markets across EMEA, the Americas and Asia, we connect your investors to your products, whatever the channel or underlying tools. Our harmonised, interconnected service model means they can access multiple fund ranges through one account, supported by BNP Paribas contacts acting as one team across regions and timezones. And we can help you to develop the distribution model that best suits you in each market, through our connectivity with the major local infrastructures (Euroclear, Clearstream, NSCC) and dealing platforms.

But that’s not all we do. We go beyond your distribution needs today and work closely with clients to explore the opportunities of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and digital assets. Collaboration and shared learning are central to our approach. Our vision is to offer seamless access to both traditional and digital assets through a consolidated model, preparing for a future of improved investor experience and operational efficiency.

A front-to-back model built around you

Every asset manager has a different operational model, based on legacy infrastructure, investment strategies and historical relationships. Many clients want to transform their model while preserving the efficiencies of their existing set-up. At Securities Services, we want to respect this – and your preferred balance of in-house and outsourced activities. 

We go beyond a one-size-fits-all platform and offer a modular approach with greater efficiency and flexibility. Our clients use Charles River, BlackRock Aladdin, Bloomberg AIM and SimCorp Dimension for their front office, or a combination. Through our open architecture set-up, we connect efficiently to clients’ platform of choice and deliver the specific middle and back office capabilities that clients need. Asset managers can extract maximum value from their existing ecosystem while ensuring maximum connectivity.

That’s why many of the world’s leading asset managers across Europe, Asia and the Americas, have chosen us as their long-term front-to-back partner.  Our 850 middle office experts across 12 operating centers process 5 million trades each year across 100+ markets.

Capturing growing asset classes and fund structures

Alternative asset classes are set to exceed USD 30 trillion by 2030*. Entering this growing market is not straightforward and requires a flexible approach, new technologies and processes. 

Beyond a standard solution, we connect clients to specialised solutions and support you in adapting your operating model.  Our 900+ private capital staff globally, eFront invest platform and dedicated CapLink Private portal offer best-in-class platforms and expertise for those looking to grow their exposure to private capital.

By connecting asset managers with our expertise and processes developed for many of the world’s leading private funds, we help to remove barriers between traditional and alternative asset management.
