BNY Mellon Asset Servicing will provide both Bank Gutmann AG and Gutmann KAG with seamless trading across the complete lifecycle of a U.S. equity trade, from order capture to execution in the market, affirmation/confirmation, clearing, settlement, and reporting.
BNY Mellon Asset Servicing's BNY ExecutionPlus platform allows clients to monitor the progress of trade orders from any time zone and resolve any queries or issues in a timely fashion. BNY ExecutionPlus has a powerful and sophisticated rules engine that is customised to meet the specific requirements of clients, such as trading under a particular percent of average daily volume in stock.
BNY ExecutionPlus also provides clients with the ability to utilise Pershing LLC's online account management platform, NetExchange Pro. Through NetExchange Pro, clients can gain access to account information, quotes, investment research, news and other third-party content. Pershing is a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
