NEW YORK and LONDON and HONG KONG, Oct. 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hazeltree, the leading provider of integrated buy-side treasury management solutions, today announced the addition of HSBC Global Asset Management to the expanding partner network of Hazeltree LiquidityWeb™, an integrated cash management and sweep platform. This partnership provides mutual clients an efficient way to manage cash and sweep unencumbered free cash to HSBC Global Asset Management money market funds, providing exposure to diversified portfolios of high quality liquid assets with competitive yields.

This partnership with Hazeltree provides a straight-through-process between buy-side firms and HSBC Global Asset Management money market funds to provide liquid and diversified opportunities, while offering yields in line with short-term money markets.

Hazeltree LiquidityWeb offers a streamlined way to manage those treasury activities,” said Sameer Shalaby, CEO of Hazeltree. “We welcome HSBC Global Asset Management to our expanding partner network and look forward to collaborating with them to provide our mutual clients access to their unique variety of liquidity products.”
