'Bridge by BNP Paribas' is powered by Edgefolio, a leading tech provider for the fund distribution and asset management industries. The platform enables institutional investors to browse and connect with the bank's prime services hedge fund clients by using customized search functions to match with specific preferences and criteria in areas like strategy type, region, sector, assets, age, performance and volatility.

'Bridge by BNP Paribas' also provides the bank's institutional investor and hedge fund clients with a view of their previous introductions, suggestions on similar funds to the ones they have already been introduced, access to exclusive market content and insights and monthly hedge fund performance updates.

'Bridge by BNP Paribas' forms part of the bank's efforts to strengthen its holistic equities offering. BNP Paribas completed the acquisition of 100% of Exane in July 2021, raising its stake from the 50% previously held during a successful 17-year partnership. Leveraging Exane’s expertise in cash equities (execution and research) and derivatives, the transaction further strengthens the range of equity and derivatives services BNP Paribas can offer to institutional investors and corporates globally. This, together with the completed migration of Deutsche Bank's Global Prime Finance and Electronic Equities business to BNP Paribas in December 2021, positions the bank as a leading provider in Global Equities.
