Japan’s securities industry has begun a common information service for foreign-stock corporate actions. The Japan Securities Dealers Association said the jointly established operations company started its first service on 19 October, moving the project from organisational preparation into delivery.[1]
An information vendor contracted by the company supplies issuer-event information to participating securities firms. The association expects shared access to reduce administrative work and information-acquisition costs while making material needed to interpret corporate actions more efficiently available.[1]
The operating company, 証券業務基盤監理株式会社, was formally established on 30 January. Its founders comprise 35 securities companies or group companies and JSDA. That founding group describes the project’s backing; it is not a disclosed count of firms using the new feed.[2]
The founders’ January statement explains the wider procurement model: centralise the administrative procedures needed to outsource middle- and back-office work, instead of requiring each broker to repeat them separately. The initial plans also contemplated account-opening application development and inheritance administration.[3]
