Strategic growth Waystone’s recent leadership addition with a new Chief Financial Officer and ongoing acquisitions indicate a growth-focused trajectory. This presents an opportunity to discuss scalable governance, risk, and compliance services that align with expansion plans and heightened financial oversight.

ETF and UCITS expansion Active launches of UCITS ETFs and white label ETF platforms suggest demand for sophisticated fund administration, regulatory reporting, and asset servicing for alternative structures. Position Waystone as a partner for fund launches, ongoing NAV, shareholder reporting, and compliance automation.

APAC footprint shift There is a relocation of the Hong Kong office and APAC expansion signals. Engage in discussions around regional regulatory support, local governance, and cross-border administration to capture clients seeking compliant expansion into Asia.

Strategic partnerships Recent partnerships with Mackenzie Investments and CloudCARDS highlight openness to ecosystem collaborations. Propose joint go-to-market opportunities, data integrity enhancements, and integrated tech solutions to accelerate client onboarding and product launches.

Technology and compliance focus Waystone emphasizes digitisation, ISO 27701, AWS, and OWASP practices. Sales avenues include selling enhanced data security, privacy management, cloud-scale administration, and analytics-backed reporting to attract risk-aware asset managers seeking robust operational platforms.
