Fidelity appoints BNP Paribas Securities Services as custodian and fund administrator for its new range of retirement funds

Fidelity has chosen BNP Paribas Securities Services (‘BNP Paribas') as the sole custodian, depo-bank and fund administrator for its new range of employee savings plan funds in France.
