Caruso allows you to manage an investing entity’s holdings through various transaction types, including unit issuance, unit redemptions, unit transfers, and secondary market transfers. Understanding how ownership dates and available units work is essential to ensure transactions are processed correctly.


Step 1: Understanding Ownership Dates

Caruso processes unit movements as T+1 by default unless changes otherwise. This means a transaction made on 1 January will take effect at the end of 1 January.

How ownership dates work for each transaction type:

Transaction

Ownership Date (T+1)

Impact

Unit issuance

Effective at the end 1 January

Earns distributions from 2 January

Unit redemption

Effective at the end 1 January

Earns distributions on 1 January,

Unit transfer

Effective at the end of 1 January

  • Transferor owns the units and earns distributions for 1 January

  • Transferee owns the units and earns distributions from 2 January

Secondary market transfer

Effective at the end of 1 January

Same as transfer

Note:The ownership date concept (start of day T+0 or end of day T+1) means that multiple transactions can be in progress at once, potentially reducing a holding’s available units.


Step 2: What Are Available Units?

Available units show how many units can actually be used for new transactions that will reduce the holding balance, such as redemptions or transfers out.

  • The available unit calculation is:

    • Current holding (as displayed on the day)

    • Minus any redemptions (in Requested or Completed state that have not yet taken effect)

    • Minus any transfers (that have not yet taken effect)

  • To review pending orders and transactions, check the investing entity’s Orders and Transactions tabs.


Step 3: How Are Available Units Used?

  • When you try to create a transfer or redemption request, Caruso will prevent the request if there are insufficient available units.

  • If you believe the available units shown are incorrect, review your current orders and pending transactions.
