Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) today announced its agreement on the acquisition of Acolin, a European distribution provider of cross -border capital and regulatory services.
The acquisition will create a powerful pan -European capital distribution network, facilitating the broader, more effective access to investors and distributors, while supporting the continuing transformation and effectiveness of the distribution of capital management managers worldwide.
“ACOLIN’s distribution and compliance capabilities complement Broadridge’s distribution data, information and regulatory solutions, creating a simplified and modernized process of starting and distributing capital in Europe,” said Michael Tae, president of the Broadge team. “By optimizing the management of launches, distribution and compliance of the Fund, we will boost global distribution and help assets to reach customers more effectively.”
ACOLIN will expand Broadridge in Europe, expand regulatory communications services to include additional compliance tasks, incorporates the opportunities to support the creation of capital and broaden the knowledge of distribution to better support European needs and worldwide needs.
“Broadridge and Acolin are a natural application,” said Theo Splinter, chief executive of ACOLIN. “The combination of ACOLIN’s distribution and regulatory solutions with the Broadridge reference and analysis capabilities will create an end -to -end solution to determine and execute a manager’s capital distribution strategy, providing our customers faster in the market and providing significant efficiency.”
ACOLIN, based in Zurich, is a specialized distribution support provider with more than 350 customers and access to more than 3,000 distributors in more than 30 countries. Instead of directly linked to multiple platforms and distributors for access to regional European markets, the asset administrators involve Acolin to access many platforms and distributors and to manage central distributors, contracts, supplies and needs. Acolin supports the registrations of the Fund, legal representation and continuing compliance throughout Europe on behalf of its customers.
Broadridge helps assets managers to smooth investment work, comply with changing regulations and promote revenue and profitability with advanced data, analyzes and world intelligence. Broadridge’s European Fund Business serves nearly 500 asset administrators and monitors 110 trillion assets under management, providing mutual capital customers an unparalleled global view of investors and assets.
The transaction is not expected to have a substantial impact on Broadridge’s financial results and is expected to close in the first half of Broadridge’s 2026 fiscal year, without prejudice to the usual closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
