Modernizing Voluntary Corporate Actions with Agentic AI & Workflow Orchestration
Reimagining voluntary corporate actions through Agentic AI and workflow orchestration to increase efficiency, accuracy, and operational scalability.
The asset management industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, and voluntary corporate actions (VCOAX) are a prime opportunity for innovation. Tender offers, exchange offers, and rights issues are complex, deadline-driven processes involving multiple stakeholders, systems, and document formats. Traditional manual methods create delays, errors, and operational risk.
Sia’s Proof of Concept:
To tackle these challenges, Sia launched a POC leveraging Agentic AI and workflow software. The goal: to modernize legacy VCOAX operations, improve scalability, and reduce operational cost and risk. Collaborating with SIFMA member firms ensured real-world relevance and tangible value.
How It Works:
- AI Agents automate document extraction, event reconciliation, security holder identification, and election notifications.
- Workflow software orchestrates the process, providing auditability, governance, and real-time visibility.
Key Benefits:
- Autonomous Workflow Execution: end-to-end automation reduces manual handoffs
- Context-Aware Decisioning: agents flag anomalies and propose resolutions
- Scalable & Adaptability: AI scales during peak periods and adapts to new event types.
- Accuracy & Compliance: consistent rules, traceable workflows, and audit-ready records
- Human-AI Collaboration: operators focus on complex decisions, while agents handle repetitive tasks
- Cost & Time Efficiency: faster elections and reduced operational load improve client outcomes
The Outcome
The combined deployment of SiaGPT and Workflow Software creates a resilient, explainable, and compliant VCOAX pipeline. It’s autonomous yet fully governed, and delivers faster cycle times, reduced errors, and improved transparency.
Next Steps
Firms can expand these solutions beyond VCOAX to other complex operational workflows, including client onboarding, security master setup, and pricing checks.
Start with a focused POC, prove value, and scale incrementally.
