    Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services 
technology and a subsidiary of BNY Mellon, announced that the release of Eagle 
Version 12.0 will be available at the end of June. The Eagle V12.0 technology 
upgrade features significant enhancements and developments across Eagle's 
entire integrated suite of data management, investment accounting and 
performance measurement solutions.

    Eagle V12.0 features upgrades focused on enhancing the global capabilities 
and risk mitigation aspects of Eagle's products. The new software is designed 
to help clients around the world better navigate regulatory change, improve 
transparency, and manage their assets more efficiently and effectively in 
unpredictable markets.

    "Across the globe, we're seeing unprecedented regulatory change and market 
volatility, and in direct response to these challenges we're excited to 
announce Eagle V12.0," said John Lehner, president and chief executive officer 
of Eagle. "Whether clients leverage our secure private cloud, Eagle ACCESS(SM), 
BNY Mellon's OnCore(SM) service offering, or have software installed on 
premise, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that can help them 
operate more efficiently and grow their assets. Eagle V12.0 illustrates how we 
continue to invest in our products and in creating opportunities for our 
worldwide client base."

    "We significantly invested resources in V12.0 on enhancing and developing 
all aspects of our suite to address the demands global market changes are 
imposing on investment managers," said Jeremy Skaling, head of product 
management at Eagle. "Whether they're in North America, EMEA or APAC, Eagle's 
solutions are flexible to fit client needs and able to handle regulatory and 
market changes on a local, regional or global scale."

    Enhancements and upgrades to V12.0 were made based on a number of factors, 
including client input and proactive developments by Eagle to address market 
challenges. New functionality has been added across all Eagle solutions, 
including the following highlights:

    
    -- The Eagle Data Management Solution offers a host of enhancements
       focused on transparency, data governance, and a global user
       experience. Eagle Enrichment offers portfolio management
       capabilities that enable portfolio, performance and risk
       managers to analyze the true economic impact of derivative
       holdings in their portfolios. The new Metadata Center allows
       users to manage metadata throughout the Eagle solution, from
       source to publisher, a critical component of data governance
       programs. Eagle V12.0 also expands multilingual capabilities
       toward providing data management tools and workflow in multiple
       languages.
    -- The Eagle Accounting Solution includes a number of items to
       provide enhanced operational efficiencies and a continued focus
       on helping firms efficiently manage assets and mitigate risks,
       while providing up-to-date management and reporting solutions for
       changing global regulations. To expand tax administration
       capabilities, V12.0 includes expanded wash sales processing
       specific to disallowance tracking and reporting. Hypothetical
       sell enhancements were also made to enable clients to perform
       gain/loss analysis while choosing to sell a certain security to
       efficiently manage capital gains and losses.
    -- The Eagle Performance Measurement Solution contains several
       enhancements geared specifically to support clients' global risk
       management and analysis capabilities to address market
       volatility. Eagle added ex post risk measures and specific
       workflow and calculations to streamline support of the UCITS IV
       Synthetic Risk Reward Indicator. The derivative enrichment
       enhancements provide for robust performance analysis of economic
       exposure to derivative instruments. Other enhancements optimize
       system support of processing intensive calculations specific to
       attribution.

    "We've introduced several improvements to the underlying technology in 
V12.0 to continue our evolution from product provider to becoming a service 
platform for the industry," said Marc Firenze, Eagle's chief technology 
officer. "The enhancements support not only our secure private cloud, Eagle 
ACCESS, but any client looking to adopt a service-oriented architecture. Other 
improvements focus on integrating and orchestrating the complete life cycle of 
activities from investment accounting to performance measurement and 
information delivery. All these developments help clients reduce technology 
risk, manage economic risk with more confidence, operate more efficiently, and 
navigate regulatory shifts without disrupting their core business."
