Broadridge president of capital markets Vijay Mayadas said: “This tuck-in acquisition provides a natural extension of our reporting and compliance capabilities for pre and post execution activities for the US market and underlines Broadridge’s commitment to expanding our capital markets offerings to clients.”
The acquired assets enable broker-dealers to better comply with regulations including SEC Rules 605/606 and Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT).
It is also said to expand their capabilities related to best execution, trade surveillance, and the detection of fraud-based manipulative activity.
