BBH's Take On the New Order of Asset Servicing

During the crisis of 2008, service providers faced an environment in which they saw their clients' assets decline sharply. After the dust settled, a new order was born with clients demanding more for less with increasing scrutiny as regulators ramped up their efforts. In an interview, Andrew J.F. Tucker, partner, and head of the Latin America, insurance and pension businesses for investor services at Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), discusses the state of the asset servicing industry post crisis, where the growth opportunities are now and what regulations he sees affecting the business in the coming year. An interview with Tucker is presented. According to Tucker, as trends in asset class selection domestically and globally continue to converge, the widening range of investment vehicles drives growth opportunities available to investors.
