Societe Generale pioneers Euroclear’s new Cash+ service to unlock hidden value in dividends

We are delighted to announce that Societe Generale is the first financial institution to adopt Euroclear’s Cash+ service, a new solution that helps investors to unlock hidden value in elective dividends – a space where billions are left on the table every year.

In complex markets, investors often default to cash dividends, missing out on significant returns. Cash+, developed by Euroclear in partnership with Scorpeo, changes that by providing a data-driven analysis to optimise outcomes without added complexity.

Societe Generale is leading the way, already delivering measurable gains for its clients by optimising elective dividend opportunities. Recent examples include:

·         Philips optional dividend: +7% uplift

·         Essilor Luxottica: +6% gain compared to standard cash dividend

“We are proud to lead the way in offering Cash+ to our clients. This exemplifies our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance shareholder value. We believe Cash+ will become an essential tool for investors looking to optimise their dividend strategies.” – Alexandre Naegele, Head of Custody France - @Societe Generale Securities Services

“We developed Cash+ to unlock hidden value in elective dividends and empower our clients with smarter, data-driven decisions. Societe Generale’s leadership validates our ambition to modernise as a financial market infrastructure and deliver tangible benefits to the market. Major asset managers have already confirmed their interest in Cash+ as well.”  - Laurence Van der Haegen, Head of Asset Servicing at Euroclear
