UK-based asset manager Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) has extended its transfer agency services relationship with SS&C and IFDS to its Luxembourg unit.
As part of the extended partnership, SS&C Global Investor and Distribution Solutions (GIDS) will offer BPO and global transfer agency services to the Luxembourg unit while IFDS will provide local support.
ASI already utilises SS&C’s transfer agency services in the UK market. The firm will now use this solution for its 23,000 accounts in Luxembourg.
ASI’s Mike Tumilty noted that SS&C’s and IFDS’s global approach to servicing will allow the company to deliver a “unified global digital customer experience across domiciles”.
SS&C will offer recordkeeping, data-driven operational insights, real-time transparent oversight, intelligent automation, and digital tools to ASI.
SS&C GIDS will service ASI clients internationally with full time support. Toronto-based IFDS will complete local servicing in Luxembourg.
