Transition of Assets to BNY Mellon | Pershing

A Reflection on the Transition to BNY Mellon | Pershing

A note from Brian Andrew, EVP & Chief Investment Officer

As I reflect on our recent transition to BNY Mellon | Pershing and your experience over the last year, I find myself thinking about why we made this decision. Our commitment to you, our clients, is to understand what’s important to you, and provide tailored solutions that align with your goals, while keeping your assets safe.

This also means looking out for your best interests over the long-term. Sometimes this means enduring things that are challenging in the present, because they will provide bigger benefits in the future.

This philosophy is the driving force behind our decision to change the custody for your relationship from RBC to BNY Mellon | Pershing. We believe they provide the safety we require, and you deserve.
