In one of the world's most complicated corporate actions markets, how is the industry increasing STP levels and removing risk today?
Data is clearly the next frontier for corporate action practitioners – as they turn to new feeds in ever-greater numbers in 2022. Worryingly, almost as many respondents plan to add new headcounts to their teams this year – showing that true automation is still 1-2 years away.
At the centre of the industry, the Exchange is not only central to corporate action processing it is also the most trusted source of information.
But the challenge is that we are not all seeing the costs of this manual processing today. With more than half the industry failing to track the costs of data cleansing and enrichment, the key question is whether we are making the right cases for change today.
