HSBC has announced that it will be providing fund administration and transfer agency services to BlackRock’s first exchange traded fund (ETF) launch in Taiwan.
The BlackRock Investment Management iShares marks the debut of BlackRock’s iShares ETF platform in Taiwan, which according to the firm, expands investors’ access to one of the world’s most recognised ETF families.
Suvir Loomba, head of securities services, Asia at HSBC says: “Supporting the introduction of BlackRock’s first ETF in Taiwan demonstrates the strength of HSBC’s Securities Services platform and our commitment to facilitating global managers’ entry into Asia’s most dynamic markets.”
This is amongst the first times an international manager in Taiwan has fully outsourced post-trade activity to a servicing partner, says the firm.
“By leveraging our proven securities services capabilities and strong local presence, HSBC is proud to support innovation and connectivity in Asia’s third largest ETF market,” Loomba adds.
Derek Dei, APAC head of ETF markets at BlackRock, comments: “The launch of the first iShares ETF in Taiwan is a significant milestone, made possible through close collaboration and key partnerships.
“We look forward to deepening these partnerships as we build a comprehensive suite of iShares ETFs designed to enable all types of investors to achieve their financial goals, and to contribute to the ongoing development of the ETF market in Taiwan.”
