Administration and Reporting Service

Looking for portfolio administration and simple reporting?

The process of personally managing a diverse portfolio of securities is time-consuming and complex. The Forsyth Barr Investment Administration and Reporting Service provides a simple, comprehensive and cost-effective solution.

Forsyth Barr Investment Administration and Reporting Service (IARS)

Recognising that managing even a simple portfolio can take considerable time, and that meeting reporting requirements can be both a burden and a risk for investors, IARS offers four key benefits:

  1. Reporting for tax purposes
    IARS clients receive an Annual Income Report detailing income received during the year along with associated imputation credits and withholding tax, as well as Foreign Investment Fund and Financial Arrangement calculations, where relevant.

  2. Managing corporate actions
    For securities held in custody, Forsyth Barr will administer all relevant corporate actions for you and, on instruction, act on your behalf.

  3. Transacting in international securities
    The IARS service enables cost effective and efficient transacting for international securities held in custody, helping you avoid prohibitive transaction fees, challenges in transacting in a timely fashion and difficulties receiving dividends.

  4. Consolidated portfolio view
    International and New Zealand securities (including Fixed Interest) are held in custody within IARS. Cash Management and ledger balances are also captured in IARS reporting. This consolidated portfolio view informs better investment decision-making.
