Variety is the spice of the funds industry. Included are retail, institutional and alternative investments. These cover muliple regions and different regulations between countries. Participation can also involve primary and secondary arrangements with transfer agents, domestic and international Central Securites Depositories (CSDs) and custodians.

Multiple solutions and standards add another layer of complexity. No one size fits all. Institutions have to to support various hubs for order routing, custody providers, open standards, mapping services, centralised industry solutions and messaging networks. ISO standards can be complex to apply with muliple market practices globally, and other standards exist. Supporting all of these methods of communication without the right supplier can be challenging and costly.

Investing in technology is vital for success. The technical revolution has already happened. Digital is transforming the way we work and paper forms are obsolete. It is not just retail embracing the Internet, large institutions depend upon it too. Additionally, systems have to evolve ahead of regulations to meet new demands for security and reliability.
