“Can Broadridge become the end-to-end financial infrastructure layer for wealth management and capital markets — owning post-trade, communications, lending, and data — so that neither large banks nor independent advisors need to build these capabilities themselves?”
Originally spun out of ADP in 2007, Broadridge built its core business around investor communications, proxy services, and post-trade processing for large financial institutions. Over time it expanded into wealth management technology, including securities-based lending infrastructure, retirement and workplace solutions, and front-to-back office managed services. Its embedded finance angle has intensified through partnerships (Uptiq, Fispoke, The Bancorp) that let it deliver lending and wealth capabilities as embedded services to RIAs, broker-dealers, and independent wealth platforms rather than solely serving large banks directly.
