(NYSE:BR), a global Fintech leader and part of the S&P 500® Index, has completed its previously announced acquisition of retirement plan custody and trust assets from TD Ameritrade Trust Company, a subsidiary of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AMTD).

Broadridge now services approximately $420 billion in assets under administration and over 118,000 plan accounts in custody.
TD Ameritrade Institutional, a division of TD Ameritrade, Inc. that provides custody and brokerage services to more than 7,000 independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), will continue offering the TD Ameritrade Retirement Plan (TDARP), a solution for RIAs that combines record-keeping, administration and other plan services in one bundle.
