"The integration of FPS Trust and SS&C will enable SS&C to extend its range of services, particularly those offered to wealth managers issuing taxable distributions on the SS&C Trust Platform," said Bill Mueller, CEO of IPX Retirement. "SS&C is now well positioned to further expand on the synergies with SS&C Managed Services and optimize their custodial offerings to institutional trustees and bank trust companies."
