The buy side and sell side need timely and accurate corporate actions data, tailored to their needs, and ULTUMUS, a leader in the ETF and index trading ecosystem, has risen to the challenge.
ULTUMUS is partnering with its corporate parent, SIX Group, to harness the power of the SIX Group Corporate Actions database, which is one of the world’s largest, covering over 75,000 instruments including equities, corporate bonds, mutual funds, ETFs and indices, with over 25 years’ of data.
Over 70 categories of corporate events are supported, ranging from various types of distributions to shareholders and bondholders; cashflows to and from companies; default, bankruptcy, insolvency and liquidation events; and corporate activity including spin-offs, tenders, mergers and acquisitions, changes of domicile, incorporation, name and office, as well as meetings.
Comprehensive coverage and accuracy are ensured through connectivity and licensing, to gather data from over 1,800 sources globally, including primary sources such as exchanges, central securities depositaries and issuer agents.
Quality controls, tolerance checks and cross checks address any errors and gaps, mainly through automation - though manual four eyes checks from local experts in multiple countries do apply where needed.
Data is delivered via the SIX bulk API.
Customisation to countries, regions, asset classes and data fields can all be accommodated.
Updates are refreshed every 15 minutes.
