Purpose-Built Features for PDMR Compliance
Automated Notifications
Logwise helps issuers stay fully compliant with Article 19 by automatically notifying PDMRs of their reporting duties and closed periods. The platform tracks each PDMR’s linked persons closely associated (PCAs) and sends them notifications as well — ensuring no one misses a deadline or disclosure.
Closed Period Management
Closed periods are enforced automatically: when you define your financial reporting dates, the system instantly sends alerts to all affected PDMRs and blocks new trade requests during those periods. You can also create custom “extended groups” (like finance staff or deal teams) who should follow the same restrictions.
Related Party Oversight
Logwise maps related parties according to IAS 24 and captures their confirmations on whether they have traded. This ensures issuers meet related party disclosure obligations and maintain a complete, accurate view of all connected persons’ activity.
Transaction Reporting
PDMRs can easily register their personal transactions directly in the platform, triggering internal compliance checks and public disclosure workflows. Logwise consolidates these reports, generates audit-ready records, and keeps your issuer fully aligned with MAR.
Complete Audit Trail
Every action in the PDMR process is recorded with a timestamp and user ID. From the sending of a closed-period notice, to a PDMR’s trade request, to the final approval and regulatory filing – all steps leave an audit trail so you can easily review history and export logs to demonstrate compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who counts as a PDMR and why is PDMR compliance needed?
PDMR stands for “Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities” – basically senior executives or directors of a listed company who are subject to special trading rules under MAR. PDMR compliance is needed because these individuals must not trade on inside information and must publicly disclose their own trades. Our solution helps companies manage these obligations systematically to avoid market abuse issues.
How does Logwise notify PDMRs about closed periods?
The system automatically alerts PDMRs and relevant staff before a closed period begins and again when it ends. Notifications can be sent via email and within the platform, detailing the no-trade period dates. This ensures PDMRs are always aware of when they are prohibited from trading.
Can PDMRs submit their trade information through the platform?
Yes. PDMRs (or their assistants) can log planned trades for pre-approval and report completed transactions through Logwise. The platform routes these submissions to the appropriate approvers and then records the details for regulatory reporting. It simplifies collecting all required information for MAR Article 19 notifications, saving time for both the PDMR and the compliance team.
Does the system generate the required PDMR disclosure forms?
Logwise can auto-generate reports with the details of each PDMR transaction, making it easy to create the disclosure that must be sent to regulators and stock exchanges. All the data (trade date, instrument, amount, price, etc.) is captured in the system. You can quickly compile it to meet the MAR reporting format.
Is PDMR data kept secure and confidential?
Absolutely. Access to PDMR information in Logwise is permission-based – typically only compliance officers (and optionally the PDMRs themselves) can view their data. The platform uses strong encryption and is ISO 27001 certified, so sensitive details about transactions and personal associates are protected.
