“Our continuing investments in technology and customer support enable us to provide a broad spectrum of services for innovative mutual funds and ETFs, such as these new offerings from Credit Suisse,” said Ross Whitehill, Head of Offshore Management at BNY Mellon Asset Servicing. “Our ETF servicing platform will work with Credit Suisse’s products to make sure their shareholders and market participants are receiving accurate and timely information. We look forward to supporting the success of this new initiative as Credit Suisse enters the Irish ETF arena and see this as a continuation of a global and long standing relationship between our two firms.”
