Corporate Actions

The ability to process Corporate Actions effortlessly and accurately is an important requirement for any investment organisation. Pulse Portfolio integrates these operational processes into a series of automated tasks, thereby ensuring each area of the business is fully informed and proactively managed throughout all stages of the Event cycle.

Dividend Processing

This area of the system provides a comprehensive facility for the capture, monitoring and processing of all forms of Dividend income, including the distribution and treatment of equalisation payments. In addition, with the introduction of the EU Savings directive, operational controls exist to support the associated regulatory requirements.

Settlement

The ability to monitor, match and record settlements is a daily task for any investment operation. Pulse will assist in this process by advising of daily and future settlement positions across both Broker and Client Accounts. In addition and to help support any associated 3rd-party reconciliation’s, electronic links are available to help deliver a fully automated STP solution.

Safe-Custody & Stock Registration

It is imperative for any Investment Management organisation dealing with the custody of the holdings to control and reconcile client assets against the physical custody position. Pulse Portfolio provides a fully integrated and comprehensive safe-custody facility, allowing stock to be recorded within any combination of Pooled Nominee, Nominee Designated or Client Name Registrations. In addition, with the need to record stock across multiple depot locations including 3rd-party custodians, electronic links are readily available to ease the reconciliation process and streamline this whole area of operation.
