The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK - Free Report) has agreed to acquire Archer Holdco, LLC, which is a leading technology-enabled service provider of managed account solutions to the asset and wealth management industry.
The completion of the deal, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, financial terms have not been disclosed. The transaction is not expected to have any material impact on BNY Mellon’s earnings.
Archer provides comprehensive middle and back-office solutions to asset and wealth managers so that they can address the managed account needs of institutional, private wealth and retail investors.
With the help of its fully integrated, cloud-based platform, Archer allows its clients to expand distribution, streamline operations, launch new investment products and deliver personalized outcomes to a broader market.
