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 date fields:
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:
The status of a corporate event is reflected in the following WM fields:
For certain Corporate Actions, the WM date fields listed above are usually not populated. Some examples of such corporate events are:
Such corporate actions can be displayed using the functionality Include events without date ☑️.
If this search function is activated, corporate actions are also taken into account and displayed in the hit list which do not (yet) contain any information in the WM date fields listed above. Nevertheless, these corporate events may contain a corresponding date in other, less common WM date fields or in the general text (such as KD998).
To search for corporate actions without a date, an ISIN, a WKN or a position group is required as a search criterion, in addition to the period specification.
Search mask Corporate Actions. For each type of measure, a checkbox ☑️ for inclusion / exclusion is available. By default, cancelled events are excluded and events without date included. This can be changed by deactivating the associated checkbox.
In addition to the search criteria, the sorting of the hits can also be determined. The hit list is sorted by default by the respective date in descending order, which means that the most recent events are listed first. Alternatively, you can choose to sort primarily by the type of measure (action); in this case, sorting within the same type of measure will still be by date. Events without dates and deadlines are considered last in the respective sorting order.
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 (UD016A and UD016B or UD016) and subscription period (KD014A and KD014B or KD014) are not included in the date column and are shown as period from/to.
The second to last column column of the hit list with the title Event Type 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:
To the right of the event type, the status of a corporate event is displayed. This display allows you to immediately see whether a capital measure, for example, has been cancelled. The possible status values depend on the type of corporate event. For more details, also see the overview of status WM fields with associated WM tables.
Using the toggle function, the status column can be exchanged for GD100 (reason for the security's status) to view the current status of the security of the corporate event.
The comprehensive search of the corporate actions with the query profile "Corporate Actions" is especially suitable in combination with the portfolio-related query function in order to create an overview of upcoming corporate actions for the next days or weeks for stock instruments.
After selecting a data set from the hit list, all not empty data fields of the relevant segment are displayed - analogous to the query profiles in wmView.
