Better manage liquidity, credit and settlement with integrated solutions and real-time tools that expand your universe of liquidity.

 

  • Enable shareholder payments: Linked accounts enable the faster release of shareholder payments.
  • Reduce overdrafts in custody accounts: Through linked transfer agency and custody accounts, settled purchases received into the transfer agency account are automatically credited to the custody account.
  • Maximize liquidity: The balances in the transfer agency and custody accounts are linked, this maximizes your balances and reduces the need for credit.
  • Access credit quickly: Access to daylight credit on the transfer agency and custody accounts permits the fund to be fully invested while at the same time helping to facilitate settlement of all shareholder redemptions.
  • Enhance trade and settlement reporting: Real-time trade reporting enables the portfolio manager to have access to the information required to better manage returns.

Expanded trading options through BNY Mellon Markets provides the potential to improve yield.

 

  • Trade early: Ability to trade early provides the manager access to early-day rates available in the repo market. For flows that come in later in the day, the ability to trade later allows the manager to invest the late day cash maximizing yield.
  • Pursue additional investment opportunities: Access opportunities from a highly-rated counterparty, sponsor for FICC-SMP repo.
  • Synergies with custody: Integrated custody solution provides straight-through processing of trades, allows for real-time availability of cash upon trade settlement, potentially fewer trade fails, and reduction in overdrafts or need for the potential for credit on your custody account.
