Not a pilot, not a tokenized fund share class, and not a settlement experiment. The record of who owns what. Transfer agency is the least glamorous function in asset servicing and the one where the technology fits best. A transfer agent maintains the official shareholder register for a fund: subscriptions, redemptions, transfers, distributions, and the reconciliation between the fund’s records and every distributor, platform, and nominee holding positions on behalf of end investors.
