'Performance & Risk Analytics' unit repositioned to meet financial industry's need for enhanced risk management, transparency and regulatory reporting

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon, the global leader in investment management and investment services, has announced that Debra Baker will lead the company's newly renamed Global Risk Solutions group, which brings together the functions of its current Performance & Risk Analytics business.
