NEW YORK, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon, a global
leader in investment management and investment services, said its U.S. Investor Solutions Group has launched a real-time service
to deliver net asset values (NAV) and daily dividend accrual rates for mutual funds.
BNY Mellon provides the data on behalf of its asset manager clients to intermediaries such as broker-dealers via The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) Mutual Fund Profile Services (MFPS) by utilizing IBM MQ real time
transmission methodology. The technology conveys information more quickly than the batch transmission technology it
replaced. BNY Mellon is the first transfer agent to leverage the technology utilized by DTCC to deliver NAV data.
"Our first-to-market MQ technology delivery service enables asset managers to accelerate the delivery of key data—such as NAVs
and daily dividend accrual rates—to intermediaries, thereby increasing their ability to meet critical nightly processing
windows," said Christine Gill, head of BNY Mellon's Investor Solutions Group. "The value of this
improved turnaround time flows end-to-end to all stakeholders, not only to intermediaries, but in turn to the clients they serve,
and ultimately to shareholders."
The importance of providing timely data to broker-dealers has been increasing as these intermediaries have gathered a growing
percentage of mutual fund assets on their platforms, according to BNY Mellon. BNY Mellon's U.S. Investor Solutions Group
comprises its transfer agency and subaccounting businesses. As of March 31, 2016, BNY
Mellon supported over $2.6 trillion in assets globally on its transfer agency platform and over 165
million accounts with assets of more than $2.6 trillion on its subaccounting platform and is ranked
as the largest third party provider of subaccounting services and the second largest provider of transfer agency services (based
on accounts) in the U.S., per the 2016 Mutual Fund Service Guide.
Concluded Gill, "We remain committed to investing in technological innovations that improve our clients' experience and
underscore our leadership position as the investments company for the world."
BNY Mellon's Asset Servicing business supports institutional investors in today's fast-evolving markets, safeguarding assets
and enhancing the management and administration of client investments through services that process, monitor and measure data
from around the world. We leverage our global footprint and local expertise to deliver insight and solutions across every stage
