Corporate Actions Management

The power to make better decisions

Corporate actions, such as mergers and acquisitions, stock splits, dividends, rights issues, and spin offs are changes to the securities of a publicly listed business. They must be agreed by the board and announced through formal financial market channels, because they effect shareholders and bondholders and the value of their holdings.

Today, corporate actions data streams in from multiple sources instantly. Our clients need analysis that is fast, accurate and ready for internal distribution. An in-depth, automated workflow is a must to validate, compare, manage exceptions and create a scrubbed, consistent, enriched master data set.
