Founded in 2007 in London, Calastone operates as a specialized global funds network providing advanced technology solutions to the wealth and asset management industry. The financial technology enterprise engineers an automated digital ecosystem designed to reduce operational complexity, minimize risk, and drive significant cost efficiencies across the institutional investment lifecycle. Functioning as a critical infrastructure layer for the international financial sector, the business processes an immense volume exceeding £250 billion in investment value on a monthly basis.
