THE RESPONSE MODULE
Capture Updated Portfolio Positions
The most updated and reconciled client position
information is combined with the Approved Prime
notices created in the Event Management Module to
generate portfolio-level custodian response messages
for each individual custodian.
Response Message Delivery
The centralized Response Module enables automated,
multi-provider communication of event responses and
custodian processing confirmations, as well as the
ability to add special instructions. Individual provider
response messages are created per custodian account
and delivered automatically via SWIFT, AutoFax or
other proprietary electronic formats.
Event Processing Status Management
Leverage the available custodian confirmation data
feeds in order to reconcile actual custodian instruction
status. Real-time updates are displayed on the InfoAction
Dashboard to indicate open items. Visual alerts highlight
approaching response deadlines and expiration dates.
User Controls
Maker/checker functionality allows for multiple reviews
before the Approved Prime notice is distributed or any
response message is delivered to providers.
