BISYS Unveils Revamped 22c-2 Compliance Tool
October 23, 2006 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The retirement
services unit of BISYS announced Monday the release of its
22c-2 compliance suite, designed to help companies comply
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rule
meant to prevent market timing.
Reported by Adrien Martin
According to a release from the company, the revamped
BISYS product includes fully automated and flexible
redemption fee and trade blocking capabilities meant to
adhere to fund family frequent trading policies, and
produces a shareholder information and transaction report
consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format
(See
BISYS Releases Rule 22c-2 Compliance
Product
).
The regulator gave its final blessing in late September to
the amended rule, which requires that most mutual funds
execute shareholder information agreements with
intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, that hold shares on
behalf of other investors. Those funds will now have access
to the identity of the customers involved in such
transactions – including omnibus accounts – and will
require fund board of directors to consider whether a
redemption fee policy suits their fund (See

Changes
).
The Charles Schwab Trust Company released its own answer to
22c-2 in July (See
Schwab Prepared for Rule 22c-2
) and The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation
(DTCC) did the same in August (See
DTCC Puts Out 22c-2 Product
).
