4.8 Process FCIS Broker Migration Detail

This topic provides the systematic instructions to change the default broker, from one broker to the other, for all the unit holders, in bulk.

Broker merger is a scenario, where source broker code merges with target broker code to form a single entity.

Post RDR, if the broke merger is not due to advise, then the merger is considered as not advised and the new agent/broker will inherit the terms of holdings. Also. is eligible to receive commission.

Once the broker is merged, the commission due to source broker is paid to the target broker for the business mobilized by the source broker. Also, the system transfers the holdings of source broker to target broker. Post merger, if a transaction is received with source broker code, then the transaction is linked to the target broker code.

Merger of brokers is scheduled as a EOD batch process triggered by Broker Merger activity on the day the merger is authorized.

Note:

  • If either the source or target broker is suspended or deceased, then the system disables broker merger.
  • If source broker code is UK domiciled and target broker code is non UK domiciled or visa versa, then the system displays the warning message as Source/target broker is UK Domiciled - Do you wish to continue.
