Asset Servicing

The trusted partner for asset servicers.

Excellence through expertise

In the dynamic world of asset servicing, where banks, Professionals of the Financial Sector (PSFs), and Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) grapple with rapid growth and evolving private asset demands, many challenges exist and continue to evolve. To navigate and overcome these challenges, and achieve operational excellence and sustainable growth, you need a partner that empowers you. At KPMG, we don’t just innovate, we lead the way in providing you with tailored solutions such as value for funds optimization, proactive risk management and strategic IT development.

Asset servicing challenges

Asset servicers have been grappling with new challenges over the past few years, causing turbulence and disruptive market conditions in the industry.

Increasing product complexity and investor demands requiring customization, flexibility, improved transparency, digitalization and reporting as well as onboarding of new structures (e.g. hybrid funds).
Lack of qualified labor and limited scalability implying quality and operational efficiency considerations to differentiate from competition and integrate with Asset Managers.
Rising competition and market consolidation with a growing number of service providers vying for market share. Asset servicers must differentiate themselves by offering innovative solutions and superior client service in niche alternative asset classes.
