Investment funds pool money from several investors; that money is used to jointly purchase a variety of securities. As assets are distributed across many different securities, risk is reduced. Investors can choose from among different funds depending on factors such as risk appetite, strategy, goals, fees, etc. Funds are an important pillar for long-term investments, such as pension planning.
Financial institutions issue funds which are then shared with a wider audience by fund distributors. These distributors must handle a variety of tasks: fee management, data administration, research, etc. Via our Clearstream Fund Services business, we offer a leading B2B fund ecosystem and outsourcing hub connecting fund providers with distributors.
We provide comprehensive fund solutions from a single source to help clients process funds securely and efficiently at scale, offering a powerful and reliable distribution infrastructure with manager access to a unique wealth manager network.
