The Bulk Unit Issuance feature lets you issue units to multiple investors at once by uploading a CSV file. This is especially useful when processing a high volume of unit issuances that would be inefficient to process one by one.
Step 1: Prepare Your CSV
In the navigation pane, select Imports.
Click New Import at the top right.
Enter the import details:
Import name: Enter the name you would like to assign to the bulk import.
Type: Unit Issuance: (Selected by default)
Download the Bulk Unit Issuance CSV template.
Fill in the required details for each unit issuance. For more detail on the CSV format, please see below.
CSV Import Format
The CSV must follow the prescribed format:
Column | Description | Format |
Capital Raise - ID | Associated Capital Raise ID | ID |
Unit Class - ID | Unit Class ID (optional; defaults to capital raise unit class if blank) | ID |
Investing Entity - ID | Identifier for the investing entity | ID |
Date of Issuance | Date when units should be issued | DD/MM/YYYY |
No. of Units | Number of units to issue | Decimal (based on fund unit precision) |
Price per Unit | Price per unit | Decimal (up to 6 d.p.) |
Tags | Optional transaction tags |
|
Email Notification | Send unit issuance email | Y or N |
Statement Notification | Publish statement | Y or N |
Step 2: Upload Your CSV
Upload your completed CSV
If errors are found, the system will display them, allowing you to update your file and re-upload.
Step 3: Review and Confirm
Preview the uploaded data on the confirmation page.
From here, you can:
Download the CSV you uploaded
Edit the import if needed
Use the search function to quickly find investors, funds, or offers
Once reviewed, click Confirm to process the issuance.
Important Note: By importing these transactions, Caruso will automatically create the underlying allocation requests and payment records based on the unit issuance details provided.
Step 4: Notifications and Statements
If enabled: If enabled, investors will receive a Unit Issuance email, and a Unit Issuance statement will be published to the Investor Portal.
If disabled: Statements are stored in the admin app, hidden from the investor portal, and no email is sent.
