LONDON, October 3, 2011 — BNY Mellon, the global leader in investment management and investment services, has extended its existing relationship with Eureko B.V. to provide global custody and value added services for group assets valued at EUR38 billion (U.S. $50 billion).

In addition to global custody, BNY Mellon will provide fund and investment accounting, fund administration, regulatory reporting, performance measurement, compliance monitoring, transfer agency and cash management solutions.
