wmProfile - Corporate Actions

Comprehensive search of the corporate action data segments for performed and upcoming corporate events.

The search function performs a limitation of the corporate actions to be selected by means of a timeframe. The definition of the timeframe depends on the type of measure and considers the following WM fields:

Income (Segment E)

• ED007 Ex date
• ED020 Record date
• ED021 Payment date CBF
• ED031 Coupon due date
• ED060 Inflow date

Conversions (Segment U)

• UD018 Payment date
• UD027 Record date

Capital measures (Segment K)

Final maturities (Segment V)

• VD009 Maturity date
• VD010 Payment date

In addition to the period definition, the exclusion of cancelled events ☑️ is another search criterion for the targeted restriction of search results.
A cancelled event exists when the status of a corporate event contains one of the following expressions:

• S = Cancellation of entire announcement
• T = Cancellation of entire announcement due to ISIN change
• U = Cancellation due to duplicate/renewed publication

The status of a corporate event is reflected in the following WM fields:

• Income:
  Payment status (Field: ED001 / Table: E13)
• Conversions:
  Conversion status (Field: UD001 / Table: U25)
• Capital changes:
  Capital measure status (Field: KD001 / Table: K12)
• General meetings:
  Meeting or announcement status (Field: HD001 / Table: H25)
• Final maturities:
  Drawing or calling status (Field: VD001 / Table: V11)

Besides the search criteria the WMACCESS user can also select the order of the following search results. The hit list can be sorted by the relevant date field of the hit list in ascending order or by the type of measure (action).

As a matter of course the relevant query profile for the five segments within wmView can also be used for a targeted search for a particular corporate event of an instrument.

Hit list Corporate Actions

The hit list itself contains an overview of the corporate actions found for the entered search criteria. Besides the measure type as well as ISIN, abbreviation and WKN, also the date fields are displayed analogous to the meaning of the search mask.

Since the hit list column "Date" is only displayed once per hit, this column contains the first date in the sequence of date fields listed per type of capital measure / segment.

The conversion period (UD016) and subscription period (KD014) are not included in the date column and are shown as period from/to.

The last column of the hit list with the title Type of event contains a sub-classification of the corporate event depending on the type of measure and are represented by the following WM-Fields and associated WM-Tables:

• Income:
  Dividend payment type (Field: ED005 / Table: E02)
• Conversions:
  Exchange/cash compensation/payment type (Field: UD006A / Table: U51)
• Capital changes:
  Capital measure type (Field: KD005 / Table: K01)
• General meetings:
  Type of shareholders' meeting (Field: HD006 / Table: H02)
• Final maturities:
  Redemption type (Field: VD005 / Table: V01)

The status of a corporate event is displayed in addition to the type of event, once the Toogle function is executed.

The values of the Status column depends on the type of event. See also: Overview of the status WM-Fields with the associated WM-Tables

Detail display of a corporate event

After selecting a data set from the hit list, all not empty data fields of the relevant work field are displayed - analogous to the query profiles in wmView.
