Central Facility for Funds
The Central Facility for Funds (CFF) is the post-trade infrastructure designed to provide greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the settlement and custody process.
Access the largest cross-border trading & settlement platform
CFF and Vestima provide a single entry point and standardised process for all fund transactions - from mutual funds to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and hedge funds – and one fully-integrated set of reports and connectivity media.
With more than 230,000 investment funds from 55 jurisdictions, we are operating the world’s largest cross-border fund processing platform.
The platform offers a high level of STP processing and support of industry standards. Clients can further increase their collateral efficiency and accuracy through real-time STP connectivity.
Reduce costs and simplify procedures
CFF provides standard settlement services based on the synchronous exchange of cash and securities between fund distributors, custodians and transfer agents.
The industry benefits of a central hub solution are cost reductions and simplified operational procedures leading to greater standardisation. Naturally, a structured market of this kind enables a reduction of systemic and operational risk.
The CFF provides the market with a secure infrastructure that enables further growth of business volumes.
Benefit from a risk-reducing infrastructure
The openness of the infrastructure enables multiple order-routing media that exist today (SWIFT, API, CSV, Browser-based solutions, Vestima Order Routing, etc) to seamlessly integrate with CFF.
The processing risk is significantly reduced compared to still prevailing processes in the industry where cash and securities settlement is separated.
Furthermore, CFF enables the management of corporate actions and the distribution of trailer fees. All of which is backed up by efficient reporting services on settled positions and the provision of a central source of static fund data.
Transfer agents benefit from a structure that reduces risk and reconciliation efforts while increasing STP processing and holding information at the distributor level.
