Firms (Large & Small) Struggle with Corporate Actions.

According to a recent survey of firms in the capital markets, 73% say corporate actions are a challenge. A third of them admit they manually process 50% of their corporate actions.

Given the complexity of corporate actions and lack of industry standards, they do not naturally lend themselves to automation.

Let’s face it – corporate actions are not sexy and don’t help firms win business.

Corporate actions are a big expense and source of substantial operational, regulatory and reputational risk. Considerable pain can result if you:

• Miss an event
• Miss a date
• Misinterpret an event
• Miscalculating an entitlement

That’s why firms rely upon DIH’s corporate actions data.
