In response to the increasing demand for flexible tools to analyze shareholder activity brought on by the advent of SEC Rule 22c-2, Access Data is unveiling a new Trading Pattern Analysis tool within the compliance functionality of SalesVision. 22c-2 has created a need for more complex short-term trading detection sequences and Access Data has fulfilled that need by developing an analysis tool that allows SalesVision users to identify accounts performing a sequence of transactions within configurable parameters.
Key Features of the Trading Pattern Analysis Tool
Tool Parameters
The new tool allows for a user-defined pattern of elements [Money In (MI) and Money Out (MO) sequences] and parameters within any number of rules. These can be:
- Rules that identify a single element (MI or MO)
- Rules that identify a round trip (MI, MO or MO, MI)
- Rules that identify multiple round trips (MI, MO, MI, MO or a MO, MI, MO, MI)
- Rules that constitute any sequence of MIs and MOs
- Rules that define the timeframe (maximum of 365 days) for such a trading pattern
- Rules that define a threshold dollar amount for each element
- Rules that aggregate daily trades in the same account
- Rules that include only specific CUSIPs
- Rules that exclude specific transaction or account types
- Rules that include only specific intermediaries’ accounts
Restriction Capabilities
The new tool allows for a user-defined level of Watch or Restriction to impose if a violation is detected. The possible actions are:
- Automatically Restrict the Account
- Restriction Review/Warning
- Watch List
The new tool also allows for a user-defined duration for the Watch or Restriction in calendar days (including permanent restriction). The user can even configure the rule to detect previous Watches or Restrictions within a certain calendar period as a pre-condition to violation status.
