BBVA today announces the launch of ESIConnect, a new platform for portfolio, securities and fund services in order to give coverage to investment firms and their customers in the framework of the advisory and discretionary portfolio management services the investment firms provide them.

The innovative technological platform forms part of the bank’s digital solution strategy and provides an organizational structure that covers the entire value chain. Through the platform, investment firms can track all of their customers’ positions in BBVA and the entire contracting process. They will also be able to access fund search engines, as well as product files and information that help them in their advisory and portfolio management process.

This mechanism establishes a trilateral relationship between the investment firm, BBVA and the end customer, who is the consumer of the investment fund’s management or advisory services, and also of BBVA’s transaction and financial services.

After finalizing an agreement with five first-rate investment firms, BBVA intends to reach a 10% market share in the next twelve months.

Alexis Thompson, the Head of Global Securities Services at BBVA, comments:

“This new launch will strengthen BBVA’s presence in a sector that, in recent years, has experienced exponential growth in the number of clients demanding management and advisory alternatives based on open architecture solutions”.

BBVA says that behind ESIConnect, investment firms will find a group of professionals who are experts in custody services and the liquidation of financial instrument operations for institutional clients, as well as a group of asset managers who will provide clients personalized service for the range of banking services and digital solutions that BBVA offers.

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
