How does LIM deal with storing corporate action or merger events?
LIM stores equities in an adjusted form and has all the historical adjustment factors stored. Front end users can see the adjusted data (which is our default) or unadjust the data as desired. LIM has a history of retired equities which are marked with the original ticker, exchange, and CUSIP, prior to trading cessation. We store all cash and stock dividends, earnings, market capitalization and shares outstanding as well.
