Description:
This ViewPoint explores the role of third party vendors in the asset management industry and catalogues a broad range of vendors that help asset managers conduct key functions. All asset managers, including both external and in-house managers, use some third party services. In addition to third party vendors, there are a variety of financial market infrastructures that all market participants rely on, including exchanges, central clearing counterparties, electronic trading and affirmation platforms, and trade messaging systems such as SWIFT. These financial market infrastructures are the spinal cord of financial markets. This paper offers some recommendations regarding guidance that should be provided to purchasers of services and suggests a framework for approaching the analysis of the providers of these services.
