Announcement | DCAF delivery update | June 2020
In February SOLACTIVE AG was pleased to announce the release of a new corporate action file, which had been designed to add greater insight and granularity to the reporting of upcoming corporate action events and to advise clients of the resultant changes to their index composition. The Daily Corporate Action File, referred to hereafter as DCAF, will replace the existing corporate action file as the primary source of corporate action information dissemination.
Our new format corporate action file has now been delivered since 9th March 2020. We hope you have had the opportunity to review and to use the new file. The transition period is due to end on 31st August 2020 at which time it is intended that the delivery of the old format file will cease and the DCAF will be the default corporate action file distributed to all Solactive’s clients.
If you receive the DCAF file by email, your delivery will continue unchanged, you will no longer receive the old format file from 31st August onwards.
If you consume the DCAF through FTP or SFTP, the delivery of the old format file will end, and from 31st August 2020, the DCAF file will continue to be delivered to the current file path.
Should you wish to complete the transition prior to 31st August 2020, change the FTP delivery location or email recipient list, please let us know by contacting us by email at DCAF@Solactive.com or calling Equity Operations on +49 (69) 719 160-410
