Global Rule Coverage: our Sensitive Industry rules cover industries with special significance using legal information from aosphere (an affiliate of Allen & Overy)

Manage Multiple Restrictions: alerts for all Sensitive Industry restrictions - from pre-approval warnings; to post notifications for disclosure obligations; and hard stops for limits that cannot be crossed

GICS Standard: utilising Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) and industry specific legislation from our legal and regulatory data provider

Simple Implementation: Shareholding Disclosure subscribers require no additional data beyond GICS mapping

Unique industry thresholds per jurisdiction

The differences between each industry varies according to jurisdiction. For example, Bulgaria applies a 1% notification threshold in insurance companies while Greece applies a 1% threshold in media companies and a 10% threshold for insurance companies.

Same company but different industry

A single company can operate in a wide range of industries. Keeping track using manual processes is a full-time job. Automated checks using our Sensitive Industry rule packages takes seconds to complete.

Issuer specific limits in an industry

Many experienced professionals are unaware that there are issuer specific restrictions within a specific industry. For example, holding greater than 1% in ANZ Singapore LTD would require pre-approval.

Foreign ownership drives complexity

Foreign ownership restrictions add further difficulties. For example, Denmark imposes a limitation on foreign ownership of Defence at 20%. However, Danish investors face a limit of 59%.

Safely navigate arcane regulation

Some jurisdictions enforce obscure laws. In Norway, there is a 20% Pre-Approval for Waterfalls. Thailand impose restrictions on companies that make Buddha casts and monk alms bowls!

Room-In-A-Name

Room-In-A-Name calculates how much can be traded ("Room") in an issuer ("Name") before reaching the next reportable threshold. Having this information visible in the service, and optionally integrated with your OMS, ensures compliance and front office teams are connected with time to anticipate upcoming filings.
