Regulatory investigations into dividend arbitrage strategies such as cum/ex and cum/cum trading have intensified, with authorities scrutinising past transactions and practices - as seen in recent news coverage of the Danish tax authority's £1.4 billion cum/ex case in the High Court in London and Crédit Agricole's €88 million settlement of a French cum/cum investigation. Organisations exposed to these strategies face significant risks, including tax liabilities, regulatory enforcement, reputational damage and operational disruption.
This introductory webinar, the first of a series, will break down the basics of cum/ex and cum/cum trading, helping compliance and risk teams understand the nature of investigations and practical steps for managing exposure. By learning how to respond to enquiries and strengthen governance, organisations can better protect themselves and demonstrate a proactive approach.
In this 25-minute session, our speakers will discuss:
- What cum/ex and cum/cum trading are, and how they operate
- The main risks and potential consequences for organisations
- Practical steps to manage exposure and respond to investigations
Join us and follow this webinar series to gain clarity on this complex issue and ensure your organisation is prepared to manage regulatory risks linked to trading activity.
