Corporate Events : CSD analysis
• Diverse media• Free format• Different languages• Large number of
corporate action events• Late, lack and lost
information in the flow from the issuer to the beneficial owner
• Degree of Complexity – Cross border
activities – High Volumes
Corporate action processing: Risks Factors
• CSD credit exposure. Principal risk can arise from advance payments either to participants and issuers
• CSD errors or omissions transferring payment from issuer to wrong beneficial owners
• Not many CSDs are involved in proxy voting instruction processing
• Mostly paper based process
• Possibility of delay or lost in the mail
• Lack of centralization
• Multiple languages
AnnouncementsAnnouncements Payments Proxy Voting
• Centralized and standardized channel of communication
• Standardized format for information contents
• Regulators should participate more actively
• Issuers should be obligated to notify immediately the CSD holding the issue in standard format and automate means.
• CSDs should be obligated to make this information available in timely fashion and automated manner to, at minimum, all participants that have position in the issue
• In order to avoid human errors by having the data touched as few times as possible
• Corporate rights and standardization of formats should facilitate STP, leading to risk and cost reduction
Corporate actions processing : Risks FactorsHow to mitigate them …….
• CSDs and other participants should NEVER pay without first receiving the money!
• Paying agents should provide clear, standardized and timely payment instructions
• Finality and irrevocability of payment should be legally enforceable
• Electronic and internet based system
• Integration with depository system
Payments Proxy VotingAnnouncements
What are the most important processes that should be automated and/or standardized in the corporate action operational flows?
The Announcement process is the core one to be standardized and automated
Issuers should be forced to deliver Standardized Information (Security, Type of event, Record date, Pay
Date, etc), and Guarantee the Information.
In order to Improve speed, accuracy, access to relevant parties (trades, etc), permit full STP (no re-keying),
Implementation Alternatives: Changes in Laws and regulations, CSDs funding issuers, Ratings
