An announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) said the arrangement would provide Pendal with Mainstream’s deployment of automated workflow for email and paper transactions, online transacting, XPLAN reporting, banking automation, and a newly-created quoted funds functionality.

The transition project commenced this month and the transition of Pendal’s register of unitholders from its existing services providers was expected to be completed by March, 2021.
