Broadridge

The capital-markets business covers activities from order management and trade execution to clearing, settlement and accounting. Broadridge offers tools for principal trading, connectivity, the middle office and transaction reporting. The product range also includes collateral management and managed operational services.

These functions operate at different points in the trade lifecycle. An order-management system handles the instruction to buy or sell, while later processes deal with the resulting transaction and its records. Broadridge combines these stages through multi-asset technology that institutions can use within a broader operating model. Data, controls and interfaces connect the individual functions.

Broadridge post-trade processing brings securities operations onto a common platform. The scope includes the work required after a trade has been executed, with information passing between middle- and back-office teams. The systems connect different asset classes within the same operational platform. Real-time position views and a consolidated subledger give operational teams a common record of securities transactions and positions.

A common operating platform connects transaction information with the teams responsible for completing and recording the trade. Broadridge also provides services around regulatory reporting and operational controls. For financial institutions, these capabilities sit behind the customer-facing trading interface and support the continuing administration of securities activity.

The issuer business supports annual meetings, proxy processes and shareholder communication. Companies use these services to deliver information to investors and manage the participation associated with corporate governance. Broadridge also provides transfer-agent services, disclosure support and investor intelligence.

The work connects a company's obligations and decisions with the people who hold its securities. Ownership records, meeting materials and voting instructions have different roles in that relationship. Broadridge supplies technology and services across those tasks, including communication channels that help issuers reach their shareholders. The issuer offering extends beyond the transaction systems used by trading institutions.

Broadridge wealth management combines front-, middle- and back-office capabilities in a component-based platform. The business also supplies investor communications, advisor marketing and services for asset administration. Institutions can choose components and integrate them with existing systems.

Operational services include corporate actions, income processing, proxy handling and reporting. Broadridge also addresses tax, reconciliation and regulatory workflows. The combination reflects the ongoing work of a wealth-management organization: communicating with investors, supporting advisors and maintaining the records associated with holdings and transactions.

Broadridge Distributed Ledger Repo, or DLR, is a specific application within the company's post-trade offering. The repo platform uses distributed-ledger technology for repurchase-agreement workflows. The subject is distinct from the broader investor-communication and wealth-management businesses.

Repo transactions connect securities with short-term financing. A shared ledger brings the relevant transaction information into a coordinated workflow between participants. DLR therefore provides a concrete connection between established securities operations and digital infrastructure. The dedicated DLR profile covers the platform in more detail, while the broader Broadridge business encompasses many other financial processes.

Broadridge has a German presence in Frankfurt through Broadridge Deutschland GmbH. The local operation sits within an international technology business serving institutions across financial markets. Frankfurt brings those services into proximity with banks, investment firms and market infrastructure providers.

Broadridge is a member organization of Frankfurt Main Finance. The Frankfurt financial center includes both financial institutions and the technology supporting their activities. The Frankfurt Financial Center Charter addresses cooperation between organizations in that ecosystem.
