Distribution Calculations

pControl Distribution Calculations automates the calculation of a fund's distribution cents or pence per unit (CPU / PPU) amount and underlying distribution components.

Distribution Calculations imports the fund’s income,  expenses or any other account balance to calculate the assessable and non-assessable net income and determine the CPU / PPU to be paid to investors.

Periodic income distributions can create ‘peak load’ pressures and cause disruption to daily business processes where manual and semi automated processes are relied upon. These can be expensive, lack scalability and transparency, and carry significant operational risks that adversely impact customer service.
