Citi Investor Services has been awarded a full middle office mandate by Aegon Asset Management (Aegon AM), covering US$380 billion in assets under management and extending a 20-year relationship with the client.
The mandate expands the scope of services already provided to Aegon AM by Citi, which include custody, depositary, collateral, fund accounting and administration, and transfer agency services.
Citi has extended the breadth of its middle office offering to include full Investment Book of Record (IBOR) services, trade management and settlement, and performance measurement via Aladdin Accounting services. The transition marks a milestone in Citi's growing presence as an integrated service provider on BlackRock's Aladdin investment platform, expanding Citi's Aladdin Provider model in both scale and sophistication. Investor Services now delivers an enhanced suite of services encompassing full middle office, enhanced data management, and accounting and performance services.
Supporting these enhanced capabilities, Aegon AM's operations employees based in Budapest, Hungary, have joined Citi Investor Services. The individuals are based at Citi's Solutions Centre in Budapest, where they will continue to grow their careers in roles of comparable scope and responsibility, bringing their expertise to the Investor Services team.
The Citi Solutions Centre in Budapest forms part of a global network of technology and operations hubs for Citi's Investor Services business. Alongside Budapest, teams in India, Poland, the UK and the US also support Citi's Aladdin Provider model for Aegon AM's entities in the UK, US and Netherlands.
