Manage redemption events from announcement through payment, providing centralized event information, entitlement processing, payment allocation, and reporting for eligible securities.

Redemptions

Manage Redemption Events with Greater Confidence

Our Redemptions service supports the full lifecycle of redemption events for eligible securities held at The Depository Trust Company (DTC). Acting as a centralized intermediary among issuers, agents and DTC Participants, the service announces upcoming events, communicates key dates and terms, calculates and reports participant entitlements, and collects, allocates and reports cash or securities payments. By integrating event information and payment processing within DTC’s infrastructure, the service helps participants monitor obligations, reconcile positions and receive proceeds through established settlement workflows.

Centralizing announcements, allocations and payments can reduce reliance on separate agent communications, limit manual reconciliation and provide a more consistent view of event status. This helps firms process proceeds more accurately and efficiently, meet time-sensitive operational requirements and reduce cost and risk across the redemption lifecycle. 

Key Features & Benefits

Broad Redemption Event Support

Process full and partial calls, final paydowns, maturities, pre-refundings, partial defeasances, terminations, and other events.

Centralized Payment Allocation

A single payment from an agent or issuer can translate into multiple allocations to participants, reducing the need for separate payments across firms.

Systemic Lottery Processing

When a lottery event is required, DTC runs a systemic, impartial lottery to determine the participant amounts called, if any.

Position and Allocation Adjustments

DTC can rescind or adjust redemptions after written agent instructions, aligning participant positions and allocations to those instructions.

Intraday Allocation Visibility

Participants can receive intraday allocation updates through cash settlement files, ISO 20022 and online inquiries.
