Broadridge to Acquire Acolin

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. announced its agreement to acquire Acolin, a leading European provider of cross-border fund distribution and regulatory services. The acquisition will create a robust pan-European fund distribution network, facilitating broader, more efficient access to investors and distribution partners while supporting the ongoing transformation and efficiency of fund distribution for asset managers worldwide. Acolin will extend Broadridge’s services in Europe, expand its regulatory fund communications services to include additional compliance operations, integrate capabilities to support fund creation and broaden its distribution insights to better support the needs of European and global asset managers. Acolin, based in Zurich, is a specialized distribution support provider with over 350 clients and access to over 3,000 distributors across 30+ countries. Rather than connecting directly with multiple fund platforms and distributors to access regional European markets, asset managers engage Acolin to access many platforms and distributors, and centrally manage distributor data, contracts, commissions, and compliance needs. Acolin supports fund registrations, legal representation, and ongoing compliance across Europe on behalf of its clients. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of Broadridge’s 2026 fiscal year, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
