Case study: Enhancing transfer agency through platform integration and data migration

An asset manager with a complex in-house transfer agency model

In-house transfer agency models can rely on undocumented processes and constrained systems, making operations difficult to scale and govern

The client required a structured migration to balance operations, improve data quality, and enable future growth

We embedded specialist teams to unpack complex data, integrate systems, and transition to a scalable platform

  • Mapped and rationalised legacy data structures

  • Integrated systems into a unified platform

  • Coordinated closely with operations and incumbent provider

The result

  • ~$560m assets under administration ("AuA")

  • 640,385 historic transactions migrated

  • Increased automation across onboarding and operations
