The Corporate Action Total Solution — CATS
Any event. One workspace.
The whole lifecycle.
Corporate actions automated at every step, accurate at every stage.
The pressure
Volumes are rising. Windows are narrowing.
Scale with confidence
Event volumes, regulatory demands and cost pressures are rising. Resources and processing windows are narrowing. You must scale to deliver timely, accurate data, clear communications and tailored reporting.
Data integrity
Subtle misreadings across custodian, vendor and agent reports can escalate into critical errors. Every subsequent step depends on an accurate initial record.
Immediate impact
The cost of an error is immediate. A single mistake can translate directly into a client claim, a write-off or a regulatory penalty.
Modernise your infrastructure
Unstructured, fragmented data still sits in legacy systems. You need a cost-effective system and infrastructure that can adapt to change.
Tight deadlines. Unforgiving cut-offs. No correction window.
Every event runs against a market cut-off. A delayed or missed step in that strict sequence results in an irreversible default position.
The CATS lifecycle
Announcement to reconciliation. One controlled flow.
-
Announce
Automatically captured, scrubbed and reconciled into one golden copy. Announcements from agents, issuers and vendor feeds arrive through SWIFT and proprietary messages. CATS creates the event and builds your diary and task lists.
-
Calculate
Entitlements, taxes and transformations, pre-computed. Entitled stock records are populated and organised by position and trade type. Exceptions are flagged automatically for proactive risk management and resolution.
-
Notify
Every client informed at every stage, automatically. Individual and grouped notifications for announcements, entitlements, elections, reminders and payment confirmations are delivered via SWIFT, email and proprietary messaging. CATS supports SRD II shareholder identification and disclosure, and ad hoc notifications can be raised at any time.
-
Instruct
Every election validated and tracked against the deadline. Each election, from an STP SWIFT instruction or a manual input, is recorded, validated and rigorously tracked against entitlements and market deadlines across elective events.
-
Settle
Payments and claims tracked from record date to payment. Process payments and receipts automatically or manually. Open claims are tracked from record date through payment, including early, late and partially settled trades.
-
Reconcile & Report
Every event closes with a complete audit trail. Entitlements and outcomes are reconciled automatically. Ready to export in a range of formats, with a full set of standard reports and searches, plus saved queries and scheduled extracts for your own reporting.
Every step on one audit trail, in one workspace.
