For securities which are shares, issuers can generate and distribute a statement for investors holding one or multiple holdings during a period or day. The statements contain the transaction history and performance of the investment/s over the selected period or day.
Once generated, you can view a PDF document containing all the statements to be issued. Upon review, if there is missing or incorrect data, the data can be updated and the reports regenerated as often as required. Once you are satisfied, the system allows you to email the statements to all investors whose email is recorded. For investors whose email address is not recorded, the system generates an additional PDF document containing the statements for these holders for posting.
Before generating the reports, ensure the NAV price of the security is up to date. Failure to have the correct prices uploaded will result in erroneous information in the statements. To learn how to upload prices click here Upload security price data.
To generate and distribute Holding statements to your investors, from the menu select Reports and click Holding statements:
