Non-core activities

It is possible for capital management companies and (financial services) institutions to adjust to the regulatory details of the technical and personnel organization. This can be done via the outsourcing of non-core activities which correspond to the type, scope, and complexity of their business as well as the type and range of their services and activities. Service providers are also obliged to adhere to regulatory regulations.

This results in optimized processes and increased quality. Whether the decision is made to only outsource certain services, partial tasks or outsource in full to an external specialist; the ultimate responsibility for any action remains solely with the client.
