State Street Announces Expansion of Fund Connect ETF Portal in Singapore

Milestone builds on State Street’s expansion of its ETF digital capabilities across multiple technology platforms; Portal now supports ETF trading across the globe including in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia-Pacific

State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) today announced that its Fund Connect ETF portal – a division of State Street Digital and its leading global, primary market ETF portal with access to more than 960 exchange traded fund (ETFs) from leading issuers – is officially live in Singapore with its first product in the region. The firm had previously provided back-office services for ETFs including custody and fund administration.

The growth into Singapore is an important milestone with Asia-Pacific being the third largest region for ETFs, following North America and Europe. Fund Connect has also received jurisdictional approval in Australia1, one of the fastest growing ETF markets in Asia-Pacific, with a roll out strategy forthcoming. The Fund Connect portal has long served as a conduit between Authorized Participants (APs) and issuers, and Fund Connect ETF is looking to increase the number of market participants globally utilizing the technology, from both an issuer and participating dealer point of view.

“Our expansion into Singapore marks an important milestone for Fund Connect ETF as we continue to build on our proven track record of supporting the world’s developing ETF markets,” said Lori Coakley, global head of Fund Connect ETF. “We continually aim to provide our ETF clients with options to simplify workflow automation, and are pleased to expand the footprint of our global technology portal.”

For nearly twenty years, the portal’s automated order placement solution and comprehensive integration to order management systems has supplied a direct link between market makers, APs, distributors, transfer agents, sub-advisors and sponsors, along with direct access to ETFs in multiple currencies. This connectivity helps support increased efficiency, reduced operational risk and enhanced communication between all parties.
