The Cost of Corporate Actions

Corporate actions are essential to market function – but they’re also one of its biggest sources of hidden cost. For U.S. securities alone, inefficiencies in processing contribute to billions in annual losses.

This research, developed in partnership with The ValueExchange, explores the root causes of inefficiencies in corporate actions and the $15B opportunity to solve them.

By harnessing innovation and embracing modernization, we’re forging a collaborative asset servicing ecosystem designed to lead the industry into the future. Tim Lind
Managing Director, DTCC Data Services

Turning Opportunity into Action

The Root Cause

Only 4 out of 10 voluntary corporate actions events achieve straight-through-processing due to operational complexity and data inefficiencies.

The Next Step

To unlock efficiencies and savings, the industry must work together on data standards for all participants across the corporate actions lifecycle.

The Golden Solution

Adopting standardized, real-time data practices would enable "golden source" data through DTCC, unlocking up to $15 billion across the industry.

Efficient corporate actions and data-driven asset servicing don’t just reduce costs—they unlock opportunities for strategic growth across the financial ecosystem. Rebecca Ashton
Managing DIrector, Head of Consulting Services
