SWIFT for Investment Managers
SWIFT enables investment managers to carry out activities (payments, treasury, settlement, reporting, collateral management, financing etcetera) with all their counterparties and service providers through a single, highly secure, standardised communication platform, replacing multiple connections. SWIFT’s internationally recognised standards help investment managers to reduce costs and risk, increase funds visibility and improve automation. This leads to easier regulatory compliance. By joining SWIFT, investment managers have access to the huge global community of SWIFT members.
