Calastone has announced that IOOF has signed up to its global funds transaction network of super and managed funds, utilising the service for its platform business.
According to a statement issued by Calastone, “60 per cent of the Australian market now use Calastone’s automated communication systems either directly or through their custodians” following the IOOF deal.
“IOOF represents another important plank of the automation process in Australia,” said Calastone managing director Australia Shannon Sweeney.
