Returning split type

christian.risom01

Hi,

i'm currently making the following request to return all historical and future splits for a select list of tickers;

fields = [

'TR.CAEffectiveDate',

'TR.CAAdjustmentFactor',

'TR.CAAdjustmentType',

'TR.CATermsOldShares',

'TR.CATermsNewShares',

]

r, e = ek.get_data(Refinitive_Tickers['RIC_CODE'].tolist(), fields, {'CAEventType':'SSP'})

Is there any way to return an indicator whether it was a split with redemption or without redemption?

@christian.risom01 Thanks for the additional information - so the list of event types is as I have shown you in the Corporate Action Event Type Parameter. If you know of a date and company where such a thing happened you could try to see if this is captured by the ALL corporate actions events then try to see where it is showing up. I think the terminology is different in Fixed Income bonds are redeemed and that is standard. In equities however, to my knowledge shares are bought back or canceled or extinguished. I think the key point you are trying to see is if the sharesplit event had a capital change event as well (in your case the redemption part). If this doesn't help then I think you may need to get this clarified with a content specialist (Corporate Actions or CORAX). You can do this by raising a content query in Contact Us. I hope this can help. Please let me know how you get on.
