Our unique single-source solution meets the requirements of your business, including European exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") fund administration, depositary, management company support, and helps achieve cost and operational efficiencies.

The ETFs market has experienced a meteoric rise, growing at approximately 20% a year since the Global Financial Crisis. Recent estimates predict that assets under management (“AUM”) could triple by the end of the decade. Despite this growth, new entrants face significant barriers to entry. There are significant challenges in the ever-changing regulatory landscape as well as the cost of setting up and maintaining ETF infrastructure, including distribution. Our end-to-end ETF offering breaks down those barriers for any new entrants. We will work with you to identify and provide ETF services and best-in-class technologies, while our team of experts manages the complexities of running an ETF for you.
