Funds

Supporting automation of investment funds distribution

Key benefits
  • reduce operational costs
  • minimise operational risk
  • improve client service level
  • build a scalable platform for third party distribution
Open architecture is progressively expanding in Europe and Asia-Pacific. The growth of this distribution model requires that the market shares a comprehensive set of open market message standards, and a scalable, highly secure and standardised platform for communication.

Funds is SWIFT's solution tailor-made to the needs of the investment funds distribution players: investors and their intermediaries, distributors, distribution platforms, fund management companies and their service providers such as transfer agents/registrars, fund accounting agents, trustees, custodians, portfolio managers.

Funds allows you to standardise and automate the following business flows: account openings and maintenance, orders, statuses or cancellations of orders and order confirmations, transfers, statements (of holding and transactions), reporting on price, cash flow, commissions, prospectus static data.

For more information on Funds, please contact your local Account Manager or download the Funds factsheet (pdf).
