Dividend/Interest Mapping

FUNCTION:


  The Dividend Mapping Module automates income processing for assets using record-date calculations.

It includes processing of:
 
  • Cash dividends from common and preferred stock
  • Interest from CDs, bonds and other fixed income assets
  • Cash dividends and capital gains distribution from declared-date mutual funds
  • Reinvested dividends and capital gains distribution from declared-date mutual funds
  • Income and capital gain distributions from a pooled fund
  The module creates income transactions in a hold status. After you verify real-world income amounts, you can release the transactions to proof and post to the ledgers for each account. It also includes features to reconcile TRUSTprocessor asset holdings compared with record-date or ex-date positions at your custodian.

This module is fully functional whether or not your office uses a pricing service interface.

BENEFITS:


   The Dividend Mapping Module adds value to the core system by …

   
 
  • saving setup time by allowing the Cash or Reinvest designation to be set up for each asset. If the asset is set up to allow account-level overrides, any account can have a different designation than the asset.
     
  • streamlining the calculation of income for all assets with a certain range of pay dates in a single process -- or the flexibility to process a single asset.
     
  • saving time by automating the creation of income transactions for each account that owns an asset and reducing the possibility of human error.
     
  • calculating an accurate position of each account’s holding as of the Ex-date or Record date by using transaction history. This is more powerful than the bulk posting of these transaction types, which would be based on current holdings.
     
  • allowing flexibility for adjusting the income rate if your policy is to retain a percentage of the income as a management fee.
     
  • providing a report to simplify the verification that the system-calculated
    totals match the income received.
     
  • allowing adjustments to any system-calculated transaction before posting to the account ledgers.

COMPLEMENTARY MODULES:


 
  • Market Pricing Interface imports dividend and capital gains announcements from Interactive Data. This module can also update the interest rate and payment date for fixed income securities.
     
  • Tax Forms produces 1099-DIV and 1099-INT forms.
     
  • Daily Accrual Income processes assets that pay based on daily balances.
