#CORPORATEACTIONS Let’s talk about Corporate Actions Corporate actions in the U.S. markets are events initiated by a publicly traded company that impact its securities, such as dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, rights issues, or tender offers. The processing of corporate actions involves a structured workflow to ensure accurate and timely updates to all stakeholders, including brokers, custodians, and investors. Events are typically communicated through standardized messages such as CANO (Corporate Action Notice) and CACO (Corporate Action Confirmation), which detail the terms and key dates of the action. These actions are categorized as mandatory, voluntary, or mandatory with choice, depending on whether shareholder action is required. Market participants rely on central depositories like the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) to distribute, match, and confirm entitlements, ensuring that securities and cash adjustments are accurately reflected in investor accounts according to established ex-dates, record dates, and payment dates. Efficient corporate action processing is critical for maintaining market integrity, avoiding settlement fails, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Will touch base on CA life cycle , CA events and other key details in coming days for a better understanding.
