BBH empowers asset managers in emerging market investing with the addition of the Colombian Peso to InfoFX(R) restricted markets capabilities.

BBH empowers asset managers in emerging market investing with the addition of the Colombian Peso to InfoFX(R) restricted markets capabilities. February 25, 2026 * Investor Services Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) today announced an enhancement to its InfoFX(R) solution, expanding its Restricted Markets Currency offering to include the Colombian Peso. Boston, MA - Feb. 25, 2026 - Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) today announced an enhancement to its InfoFX(R) solution, expanding its Restricted Markets Currency offering to include the Colombian Peso. This update helps asset managers navigate the complex regulatory, tax, and reporting landscape of restricted market investing. With this addition, InfoFX now offers six restricted markets on a third-party, non-custody basis, with more expected over the coming year. BBH's InfoFX platform is an automated operational FX solution for security and corporate actions related FX, in both developed and restricted markets. Restricted market currencies are not freely traded in the open market and bring challenges such as limited trading hours and varying local requirements. Fragmented processes across custodians and third party providers further complicate execution, while industry gaps in technology and data standards hinder transparency and efficiency - particularly in trade cost analysis (TCA) for restricted currencies. InfoFX offers benefits for investing in restricted markets, including: * Improved transparency across the FX lifecycle * Enhanced data quality through real time monitoring and trade level benchmarks * Increased efficiency in trade generation, netting, execution, and settlement * Comprehensive reporting to support robust pre and post trade analytics * A streamlined alternative to traditional restricted market FX execution Since 2007, InfoFX has supported asset managers' FX needs and has played a central role in evolving client operating models, especially following the introduction of third party restricted market capabilities in 2010. The automated platform serves managers of all sizes and complexities, supported 24/6 by teams across global offices. "Global volatility and growing market complexity are driving asset managers to seek deeper insights into FX execution and local market events," said Brendan Burke, Managing Director, BBH. "By integrating the Colombian Peso, BBH continues to evolve its service to address the most pressing needs of asset managers investing in these complex environments." With this enhancement - and additional markets planned - BBH reaffirms its commitment to helping clients navigate emerging markets with solutions that deliver greater efficiency, transparency, and superior outcomes in global FX execution.
