Evalueserve's Expertise in RDM

At Evalueserve, we offer comprehensive Reference Data Management services to streamline your operations. Our solutions include:

• Define Security Types and Categories: Identify and define the broad categories of securities (e.g., equities, fixed income, derivatives, private equity, etc.).
• Create a New Security Record Security Master: Start by adding the security in the Security Master. This is the centralized repository where all security data will be stored
• Enter Security Pricing Information Market Price Source: Define the pricing sources for the security. You can link to external market price providers or set up custom price sources
• Define Currency and Exchange Information Currency: Specify the currency in which the security is denominated (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP). This is important for conversion and reporting purposes
• Set Up Corporate Actions and Event Processing Corporate Action Settings: If the security is subject to corporate actions (e.g., dividends, stock splits, bond calls, etc.), configure the platform to handle these actions automatically
• Define Settlement Details Settlement Instructions (SSI): Define the Settlement Instructions for the security, specifying details about how the security should be settled (e.g., Delivery vs. Payment [DvP], Free of Payment [FoP]).
• Define Tax Information Tax Categories: For income-producing securities, define tax categories (e.g., interest income, dividend income, capital gains) based on jurisdiction
• Configure Accounting Treatment Accrual Method: For fixed-income and income-generating securities, define the accounting treatment (accrual, cash basis) and the methods for calculating interest and amortization.
• Link Security to Portfolio or Fund Portfolio Allocation: After creating the security, assign it to a specific portfolio or fund in Geneva. This ensures the security is part of the appropriate investment strategy.
• Define Cash and Margin Requirements (for Derivatives/Leverage) Margin requirements: for securities that involve margin (e.g., derivatives), define the margin requirements for each security, including the initial and maintenance margin
• Reconciliation Setup Reconciliation Rules: Define the reconciliation rules to ensure that positions and cash balances for each security match between internal records, custodians, and external parties (e.g., counterparties, brokers).
• Testing and Validation Back-testing: Before fully implementing the new security in a live environment, conduct back-testing and validation procedures to ensure the setup is correct
• Ongoing Maintenance and Updates Regular Updates: Ensure that the security information is updated periodically. This may include price updates, corporate action changes, or adjustments to settlement details.
• Security Reporting Generate Reports: Create and review reports that include the security's position, pricing, performance, and accounting details.
