Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. a global Fintech leader, announced that Nissay Asset Management Corporation (NAM) has implemented Broadridge's Mortgage–Backed Securities Trade Assignment Portal (TAP), becoming the first asset management company in Japan to adopt the solution. 

"As we continue to enhance efficiency and focus on value creation for our investors, Broadridge's Trade Assignment Portal provides us with a simple and effective way to streamline AOT processes," said Shuichi Uchida, General Manager & Head of Trading Department at Nissay Asset Management Corporation. "This automation frees up time from administrative tasks, allowing us to focus more on trading and analysis."

Trade Assignment Portal automates and digitizes Nissay Asset Management's Assignment of Trade (AOT) processes for TBA (To-Be-Announced) trading of mortgage–backed securities, allowing the firm to instantly create and electronically sign contract documents, send AOT letters to multiple recipients at once, and track progress in real time. The solution also stores completed AOTs securely in the cloud, significantly reducing manual workload and improving transparency.

"We are proud to support Nissay Asset Management in modernizing their AOT operations," said David Runacres, President of APAC at Broadridge. "Trade Assignment Portal exemplifies how Broadridge helps firms across Asia achieve greater automation, transparency, and efficiency. By transforming the traditionally manual, email–based Assignment of Trade process into a connected digital workflow, Trade Assignment Portal not only streamlines operations but also builds the foundation for future network value and collaboration across market participants."

Nissay Asset Management chose Broadridge's solution because Trade Assignment Portal streamlines existing email–based AOT workflows while preserving core processes—allowing the firm to build on its operational expertise and established broker relationships. The implementation comes as Japan's asset management industry faces growing pressure to reduce routine tasks and allocate more resources toward initiatives that deliver greater value to investors. 

By reducing AOT processing time, Trade Assignment Portal enables Nissay Asset Management's traders to focus more on planning and execution, strengthening operational agility and client outcomes.
