Canadian settlement issues made easier with improved linkages to DTCC technology
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation announced this week improvements — including
dividend, redemption and reorganization services — to its settlement link with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (CDS).
This new linkage is expected to improve the processing and settlement of transactions in Canadian dollars and to help solve issues associated with maintaining split inventories in Canadian and U.S. securities.
With the newly expanded service, customers of the Depository Trust Company (a subsidiary of DTCC) can receive and make payments on all corporate actions events for eligible Canadian issues including tender offers and rights issues in Canadian dollars or a mix of U.S. and Canadian dollars.
