Caruso allows you to manage an investing entity's holding through various transaction types;

  • Unit issuance

  • Unit redemptions

  • Unit transfers

  • Completing a secondary market transfer

Ownership Date

Caruso processes unit movement as a T+1 by default. In the transactions above, this means a transaction on 1 January;

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

Completing a secondary market transfer

Effective at the end of 1 January

Same as transfer

The concept of an ownership date at the start (T+0) or the end (T+1) of a day, means that there is a chance that users could create subsequent transactions on the same holding without realising that there are transactions underway that will reduce that holding's units.

Available Units

Available units is an additional calculation that shows when admin users are creating a transaction that will reduce the holding balance (redemptions, transfers out).

The goal of the available unit calculation is simply to give admins a view of whether there are any pending transactions which already reduce that holding. The calculation is;

  • Holding - No. of units (as shown on the day the user is viewing the holding and looking to create a transaction)

    • Less - any Redemptions (in Requested or Completed state that have not taken effect yet), any Transfers (that have not taken effect yet)

Check the investing entity's Orders and Transactions tab to view pending orders and transactions.

How are available units used?

  • On creating a transfer request or a redemption request, Caruso will prevent users from creating the request if there are insufficient available units.

    • If this is incorrect, please review current orders and pending transactions.
