Before you finalise the NAV, take 3 minutes to scan corporate actions and income activity:
β
Were all corporate actions identified and processed correctly?β Dividends, interest, splits, mergers, or reorganisations today?β Correct ex-date, record date, and payment date applied?β Actions reflected consistently across positions, cash, and income?
β
Does income look reasonable vs expectations?β Missing or duplicated dividend/interest income?β Unusual spikes or drops compared to prior periods?β Correct withholding tax treatment applied?
β
Any pending or partially processed events?β Corporate actions posted to positions but not cash (or vice versa)?β Income accrued but never settled?β Manual overrides applied without review?
Why this matters:
Corporate actions and income are high-risk NAV areas β they often involve manual processing, multiple data sources, and tight deadlines. Small mistakes here can quickly become material NAV errors.
Pro move:
If a corporate action required manual intervention, it deserves a second review β even if the NAV βbalances.β
