Euroclear launches gateway for South African investors to access global funds
What happened
Euroclear and Strate created Global Funds Access, a secure gateway for international collective investment schemes hosted on Euroclear FundsPlace. This solution enables South African investors to access approximately 250,000 global funds through a single framework via a CSD-to-CSD link. Euroclear stated that the collaboration demonstrates the value of connecting local and global financial market infrastructures.
Why it matters
The solution represents a significant milestone for South Africa’s financial market infrastructure by expanding access to international markets. By combining Euroclear’s international funds ecosystem with trusted market infrastructure, the gateway provides South African investors with a broader universe of investment opportunities.
Investors are seeking global investment opportunities outside of their local markets.
