BNY Mellon has the pre-eminent capital markets platform, integrating data, technology, and investment solutions – placing the Bank in a leading position to meet the evolving and complex needs of financial institutions. To build on this strong foundation and capture emerging opportunities, the Bank recently launched Growth Ventures. A new business that focuses specifically on identifying, developing, and executing break-out commercial opportunities that are adjacent to BNY Mellon’s strategic priorities, but ‘more-than-incremental’ to existing solutions. Growth Ventures is the Bank’s platform for investing in and standing up new businesses. These businesses integrate existing capabilities into new commercial models, deliver new capabilities to market often through partnerships with clients and other industry stakeholders, and enter new markets in unique ways that benefit clients and the overall ecosystem. Growth Ventures also includes BNY Mellon’s market-leading software and data management business, with approximately $45 trillion in assets under data management and proprietary technology infrastructure that is a foundation for a broad suite of analytics, services, and solutions. Growth Ventures is bringing to market a new business to deliver solutions to the alternative investment ecosystem. The business will leverage, connect, and enhance existing capabilities across BNY Mellon’s Investment Management, Wealth Management, Asset Servicing, Pershing, PershingX, and Data & Analytics offerings while also developing a number of new products and features to support a broad set of clients. In doing so, these solutions will deliver a one-of-a-kind integrated ecosystem and superior end-to-end client experience. The specific markets being targeted are measured in trillions of dollars and with revenue pools measured in billions – yet they are generally viewed as nascent and on the precipice of accelerating growth.
