Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR) has upgraded its OpsGPT platform with new AI agent capabilities focused on fails research, inventory optimization, and email automation to help financial institutions manage risk and improve operational efficiency in post-trade processing.

Broadridge Adds AI Agent Features to OpsGPT for Post-Trade Operations

Broadridge Financial Solutions' OpsGPT, a specialized AI platform unveiled last year and designed to bring generative AI capabilities to operations teams in financial institutions, has been enhanced as firms navigate challenges from shortened settlement cycles and increased capital costs, creating demand for more sophisticated automation tools to streamline post-trade processes.

"We are continuously evolving OpsGPT to optimize how clients can better operate and grow, particularly by unlocking agent capabilities to better manage risk, capital, and operational efficiency in today's rapidly evolving trading environment," said Quentin Limouzi, Global Head of Post Trade at Broadridge.

The upgraded platform now offers expanded functionality in three areas. The fails research capability diagnoses root causes of settlement failures and provides immediate, actionable insights to reduce resolution times.

The inventory optimization feature enables real-time global inventory management, identifying mismatches and suggesting asset transfers to maximize capital efficiency. Additionally, the email integration automation interprets operational emails, extracts relevant information, and retrieves data from internal systems to accelerate response cycles.

These enhancements leverage AI agents that convert data into actionable insights, improve decision-making processes, and can execute workflows autonomously. The system is built on Broadridge's BRx data ontology, which standardizes information across asset classes and systems globally.

By automating traditionally manual processes, Broadridge claims OpsGPT can help financial institutions accelerate fail resolution, optimize capital deployment, and reduce operational expenses, while strengthening risk management through real-time intelligence.

Three months ago, the company appointed Larry Conover as VP, Special Advisor for Proxy & Corporate Actions. He brought almost 3 decades of expertise from Fidelity Investments and BNY Pershing.

Broadridge Financial Solutions processes over 7 billion communications annually and supports daily trading of more than $10 trillion in securities globally. The company employs over 14,000 people across 21 countries.
