BNY, a global financial services company, today announces that it has been selected to support an operating model optimization at Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), one of the world’s leading active asset managers.

Through this strategic relationship, BNY will provide an integrated investment operating model with a focus on middle and back-office solutions globally as well as custody, depositary, transfer agency and fund administration across Germany, Luxembourg and the UK.
