Data Maintenance ensures that structured product data is correct, complete and economically consistent from the moment of issuance and remains reliable throughout the product lifecycle. Each new issuance is independently validated against LPA’s proprietary structured products database. Products are classified based on their exact economic payoff structure rather than issuer marketing names, enabling precise product type identification and consistent reference datasets for lifecycle monitoring and analytics.

Static data maintenance and product updates are processed through proprietary in-house systems specifically designed for structured products. More than 3,000 product types are classified according to their economic payoff logic, enabling issuer-independent comparability and flexible aggregation across product groups. Validation, error detection, and corrections are embedded directly into the operational workflow, ensuring scalable and consistent data quality across the full dataset.

Automated validation and sanity checks are complemented by manual review performed by a dedicated specialist team to ensure that static reference data, payoff logic, and key parameters are complete, consistent, and properly represented. Where required, critical fields are additionally verified against official product documentation to ensure alignment with the product’s legal terms and economic structure.

Corporate actions are processed from a structured product perspective rather than a pure underlying perspective, ensuring that adjustments are applied correctly to product statics such as strikes, ratios, basket compositions, fixings, and weights.

LPA aggregates multiple independent market sources and pre-filters corporate action announcements to identify only events relevant for structured products. This ensures efficient monitoring, accurate adjustment of product parameters, and consistent lifecycle handling across the entire product universe.

A dedicated corporate action calendar and early-warning framework enables proactive monitoring of upcoming events and their potential product impact.

The service covers all lifecycle-relevant events across the structured products universe and ensures continuous updates whenever product conditions change. This includes knock-outs, barrier events, strike adjustments, early redemptions, fixings, coupon observations, and other product-specific triggers that may affect product status, payments, or final outcomes.

Events and adjustments are processed continuously, ensuring lifecycle information remains current and operational workflows remain stable while minimizing manual reconciliation.

Knock / Barrier Watch
A dedicated monitoring framework continuously tracks barrier levels and knock events. Approaching thresholds and breached levels are identified early, enabling proactive operational handling and effective exception management.

Event Watch / Aftersales Monitoring
Event Watch focuses on post-issuance lifecycle events such as fixings, coupon observation dates, early redemption triggers, and other time-sensitive conditions. This ensures critical events are monitored closely and reflected promptly in lifecycle data.

The service can be extended with customized reports and near-time alerts to support time-sensitive workflows and proactive escalation of high-impact lifecycle events.

To strengthen data reliability, LPA’s proprietary control framework cross-checks lifecycle events, price levels, and structural changes across multiple market sources and quote feeds. This systematic verification helps identify discrepancies early and ensures reliable lifecycle data across downstream systems.
