Product Description
Corporate actions are events that affect large corporations through to the individual investor - even those that own a single-share! All organizations that hold equity and debt securities for themselves and/or on behalf of others are affected when the issuer of a security announces an income or corporate action event. The successful management of the array of different event types requires understanding of the inherent risks, and tight controls at critical points in the event lifecycle. The management of income and corporate action events are important and essential parts of the securities industry business. Written by authors with many years experience within this sector, Corporate Actions: A Guide to Securities Event Management sets out to demystify the subject and provides a thorough, step-by-step introduction to corporate actions and income events.

Corporate Actions is a comprehensive source for understanding a major component of operational processing. The individual components and their relation to each other within the corporate actions lifecycle are explained in detail, through which the reader will gain a clear and thorough understanding of the lifecycle together with potential processing risks and the strategies to mitigate

Corporate Actions is essential reading for all those involved in the securities industry, from new recruits to those involved in both the day-to-day operations process and those within executive management. It will also prove invaluable to those providing consultancy and software solutions to the securities industry.

Corporate Actions is the first major work on this subject. Many people within the securities industry have heard of corporate actions - many people know they can be highly risky - many organizations have lost vast sums of cash in attempting to process them - very few understand them!

A great guide to Corporate Actions management, 2008-03-11
Really useful guide to the field of Corporate Actions.
Explores details of different events types and provides a very useful structure. really explains how CA events work and how to manage the risks associated with the different CA events.

Good, useful examples.

On the minus side - maybe too UK market oriented.

Good book for IT professionals in BFSI, 2006-05-25
This is probably the first book on the subject. It may be especially helpful for IT professionals like me in Custodian Banking projects. I got my copy a few days ago and so far it has been a good read. There was always a dearth of suitable material on the subject of Corporate Actions. There used to be times when I would try to find definitions / descriptions of CA terms but would not find good ones even on googling. I would have to rely on second hand interpretations and what corporate/banking websites may say. CA are high risk prone and volatile from market to market with a multitude of interpretations. This book is a good back up and probably a good attempt in forming a baseline. A more descriptive section on SWIFT/ISO15022 standards / SMPG may be a additional bonus.
