Case Study: Disciplined Growth Investors achieves timely, accurate corporate actions processing with SS&C Advent (Advent Corporate Actions)

Disciplined Growth Investors - Customer Case Study

Disciplined Growth Investors (DGI), an employee-owned RIA managing $2.0 billion focused on small- and mid-cap equities, faced persistent challenges getting timely, accurate corporate actions information. The firm had no daily corporate-actions workflow, relied on custodian faxes/emails and manual research, and frequently spent time correcting cost-basis and reconciliation errors. To solve this, DGI turned to SS&C Advent and implemented Advent Corporate Actions (ACA), integrated with Advent Portfolio Exchange (APX).

SS&C Advent’s ACA consolidated data from multiple sources, delivered daily, customized corporate-action alerts and APX-ready transactions, and provided tax/compliance guidance plus dedicated support. As a result, DGI moved from reactive to proactive processing, eliminated reliance on custodians, reduced reconciliation delays and rework, and now receives accurate gains and cost-basis reporting each morning—significantly improving efficiency and confidence in corporate-actions processing.
