Calastone, the largest global funds network, announces today that J.P. Morgan Asset Management in Brazil is now connected to its network for investment funds processing, enabling Brazilian institutional investors to access the largest range of offshore funds markets.
As Brazilian asset managers start to focus on the implementation of CVM 175, which opens the international market for Brazilian retail investors, Calastone enables direct and efficient connectivity to the offshore market, without forcing any changes in processes or existing custody relationships, which minimizes any potential cost, additional fees, or other impact on investors.
Through the connection to Calastone’s global network, J.P. Morgan Asset Management are getting ahead of eventual challenges that may arise with this new regulation.
Many of the world’s leading financial organisations are connected to Calastone’s global funds network, which offers automation and global connectivity throughout the fund distribution process. With over 3,900 clients in more than 50 countries and territories, Calastone processes over $300 billion in investment value per month.

“We are delighted that J.P. Morgan Asset Management in Brazil has chosen Calastone to enable cross-border connectivity via our global network.

Morgan Asset Management in Brazil to prepare for the future now, as Brazil further establishes itself as a key global player.”
