Corporate Actions: Unit Trust service

Our Unit Trust service fully complements the UK Dividend product by ensuring a more comprehensive coverage of UK income producing securities.

EDI has built direct links with over 300 fund managers to ensure a timely delivery of Unit Trust data. On a daily basis, our dedicated team collects and processes data from over 6500 Unit Trusts and OEICs.

This service provides crucial dividend information on Unit Trust/OEICs such as Group 1, Group 2 distributions and equalisation rates required for the calculation of dividend income. The feed also includes payment frequency details, pay date, ex and record dates, unit type and more important tax treatment data.

EDI plans to develop its UK Corporate Actions service to cover corporate actions of Unit Trusts and OEICs.
