In addition to being a member of SIPC and FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), PAS is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC.
In March, BBVA GWA opened for business in Miami with the goal of providing investment advisory services, mainly to Latin American clients.
Clients who are not US residents and have at least $500,000 in assets under management may typically use its foreign investment advising services.
Murat Kalkan, head of BBVA GWA stated: “Trust is one of the most important aspects of our business, and collaborating with a global, industry-leading player like BNY Mellon’s Pershing has been one of the key enablers of our ability to launch an RIA and serve clients. Our focus is to strive to bring the best service and solutions to our clients. We believe that this collaboration aligns well with our strategic objectives as it helps us to meet our goal of serving our clients in an effective and efficient manner.”
