The integration of BNY's LiquidityDirect with MUFG CashFolio creates a powerful platform in the $6.51 trillion money market fund industry.

The partnership leverages BNY's established presence serving 90% of Fortune 100 companies and combines it with MUFG's global banking network. Key competitive advantages include ESG integration, automated sweep functions and comprehensive fund research tools. This positions both institutions to capture a larger share of the institutional cash management market.

For BNY shareholders, this represents a strategic expansion of their high-margin technology services business, potentially driving recurring revenue growth through platform fees and transaction volumes.
