LUSID’s investor management module for transfer agency enables you to model any investor structure and store all back-office data in one system:
An investor can be represented in LUSID as either a Person or a Legal Entity (representing a corporation or institution), whichever is more appropriate.
An investor record collates, in one place, all the information required to validate an investor in a particular jurisdiction, for example address information, KYC status, payment details and tax records. An investor might have many investor records in different jurisdictions.
An investment account links an investor record (and its underlying investor) to the portfolio(s) storing their investments.
An investment portfolio stores a record of investment activity, for example subscriptions and redemptions, or dividend distributions for re-investment.
Consider the following example scenarios for a Person investor:
Single jurisdication | Multiple jurisdictions | Joint account |
|
|
|
An investment account has a type that determines the ultimate investor structure:
An
Individualaccount must link (through an investor record) to a single Person investor.A
Corporateaccount must link to a single Legal Entity investor.A
Jointaccount can link either to a group of Person investors or a group of Legal Entity investors.A
Nomineeaccount must link to a single Person or Legal Entity acting on behalf of other investors.
To get started, choose whether to manage investors in the LUSID web app or programmatically.
