NZX Wealth Technologies
Transition of foundation client onto Wealth Technologies platform is scheduled for early Q4 2017
This is one quarter later than originally planned, reflecting complexity of transition process and
aligning third part activities
Second client implementation now likely to be early 2018, but with a view to progressing to a
much more comprehensive utilisation of the system than previously indicated
Good pipeline of potential opportunities following on from these implementations
Longer transition timelines, but more substantial platform utilisation anticipated
