Invesco is set to adopt State Street’s Alpha platform, the first front-to-back asset servicing platform from a single provider for institutional and wealth management firms.
The migration to Alpha is intended to simplify Invesco’s investment infrastructure to improve scale, reduce risk and improve operating efficiency.
State Street Alpha combines components including Charles River Development, Alpha Data Platform, middle office processing, and a set of data and back-office services.
Alpha allows clients to manage all public assets across global markets and streamline their day-to-day processes, which State Street says helps to facilitate innovation, better inform investment decisions, optimise returns and streamline business operations.
“The State Street Alpha platform will support Invesco with next-gen technology that provides both the data and flexibility needed to operate globally,” says Donna Milrod, head of State Street’s global asset manager segment and global clients division.
Milrod continues: “We look forward to partnering with Invesco as they strive to create a global operating model that will standardise Invesco’s global investment processes for traditional asset classes.”
John Plansky, head of State Street Alpha, adds: “As markets quickly evolve, delivering real-time data and intelligence to investment managers is more important than ever.”
“By leveraging Charles River Development and State Street Alpha’s open infrastructure, Invesco will improve data integration among multiple systems and databases to more easily and efficiently gain actionable insights from the front office to back.”
The integration will begin in Q2 2021 with a phased roll-out targeted to complete in late 2024.
