Corporate actions — stock splits, bonus issues, dividends, mergers and demergers — are routine in Indian markets, and every one of them can quietly distort an advisor's track record and unsettle clients if the platform handles them naively. A 1:1 bonus can make a portfolio look like it halved overnight; a demerger can show a 60 percent loss that never actually happened. AlphaQuark handles every corporate action automatically across the three places it matters: your published performance, your clients' portfolio view, and the moment you rebalance. Each market morning the platform reads corporate-action announcements from exchange feeds and reconciles them against independent market data, because a single feed can be late or ambiguous and a missed event is the most dangerous kind. Events are matched against the specific stocks in your models, and where an announcement is ambiguously worded the platform never guesses — it sets the event aside for human review rather than risk a wrong adjustment slipping through. The governing principle is value continuity: an investor's wealth does not change on the ex-date merely because the share count or quoted price did, so quantities and cost basis are adjusted together and returns reflect what actually happened to the money. A 5:1 split or a 1:1 bonus produces no jump in your performance graph, a dividend lifts the line by exactly the cash received, and a demerger shows value moving to a new company rather than vanishing. Clients always see their real quantities at real prices with cost basis adjusted so a demerger never displays a phantom loss, and during the short window before new shares are credited they see a calm, factual note explaining that value is pending, not lost. Before you publish a rebalance, a clear warning surfaces any affected stock so you never re-weight a company that has changed underneath you. Every corporate action is recorded with its source and effective date, performance stays accurate and reconstructable through every event for an RIA audit, declared ratios are verified against how the market actually re-priced before they take effect, and every manual confirmation is logged — giving you a clean, defensible record while you make only the decisions that should ever be an advisor's.
Quantities and entry prices adjust together across holdings and history, so a 5:1 split or 1:1 bonus never shows as an overnight crash and dividends are credited into portfolio value. If an expected event is slow to appear in market data, you are alerted rather than left with a silent gap.
Mergers migrate the old symbol to the surviving company with invested value preserved. In a demerger the parent value is preserved, the new company is tracked separately and badged for clients, and you decide in one click whether it joins your model — its value is never shown as a loss.
Before you publish a rebalance, the platform shows a clear warning for any stock affected by a recent or upcoming corporate action, including anything unusual it wants a second pair of eyes on, so you never re-weight a company that has just changed.
Performance is recomputed so historical returns stay continuous through every event, declared entitlement ratios are independently verified against the market, and every corporate action and manual confirmation is logged with its source — an audit finds a clean, defensible trail.
