BNP Paribas’ Securities Services business and Bloomberg have announced an integration that brings together BNP Paribas’ multi-asset servicing capabilities with Bloomberg AIM, a buy-side order management system.
The solution will provide mutual clients with seamless front-to-back workflows and standardized data connectivity to support efficient trade management.
“As part of our Open Front Office strategy, we are constantly looking to develop integration with leading portfolio management systems. We are very pleased of the achievement of the new integrated model with Bloomberg, offering to our common clients a seamless workflow and the benefits of real time transactional data access throughout the lifecycle of the trade”, said Valerie Boléa Waeterloos, Head of Middle Office Transaction Management product, Securities Services, BNP Paribas.
“We are aiming to provide the best client experience, by facilitating our client’s daily journey in the transaction management space as well as accelerating the onboarding of any change in their investment strategy,” she added.
The offering delivers real-time post-trade workflows, enhanced by the bank’s middle office outsourcer data, utilizing seamless connectivity from automated trade instruction capture, to status update and end-of-day recaps.
Clients benefit from increased transparency along the lifecycle of the transaction, while reducing manual touchpoints and minimizing post-trade risk and costs.
Ugo Loeser, Arca Fondi SGR, CEO: “I am extremely pleased with our partnership with BNP Paribas. Our shared vision of technological innovation has led us to become the first client to adopt the solution that was jointly developed by BNP Paribas and Bloomberg. The new workflow has significantly improved the efficiency of our trade management. Our collaboration with international partners in developing new technologies allows us to offer an ever-growing range of value-added services to our network of distributors and customers.”
