CHICAGO, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Halo Investing ("Halo"), an award-winning platform for protective investments, today announced an integration with BNY Mellon's Pershing ("Pershing"), a leading provider of clearing and custody services, to include Halo's independent structured notes platform in Pershing's NetX360®. For the first time, RIA and Broker Dealer (BD) firms on Pershing's signature platform will be able to access the most advanced technology, analytics, controls, and tools to trade and manage structured notes.

"Through this strategic relationship, we are solving these challenges by providing RIAs and BDs with seamless access to structured notes, which are powerful investments that bridge the risk gap between stocks and bonds. Financial advisors on Pershing's platform now have more choices and opportunities to deliver a differentiated client experience to fuel their growth."
"The addition of Halo's purpose-built structured product platform further enriches Pershing's NetX360 ecosystem to the benefit of our clients," said Claire Santaniello, Head of Operations, BNY Mellon's Pershing.
