This screen can be used to associate entities with a fund. You can maintain either a list of ‘restricted’ entities, or an ‘allowed’ list.
If you maintain a restrictive list as ‘Yes’, only the entities that you maintain in the list in the Fund Entity Maintenance screen for a fund are restricted from transacting in the selected fund. If you maintain a restrictive list as ‘No’ , only the entities that you maintain in the list in the Fund Entity Maintenance screen are allowed to transact in the selected fund. If you maintain neither a restrictive nor an allowed list, all entities of a type are allowed to transact in the fund.
Agents
In the case of agents, mapping can be carried out for only those Agents and their branches as have been created using the Agent and Agency Branch screens. Only those agents and their branches that have been mapped to a fund as part of an ‘allowed’ list will be able to accept transactions related to that particular fund. Agents and their branches maintained as a ‘restrictive’ list will not be able to accept transactions for the fund.
Distributor agents can also be mapped to the fund. This would be required in a scenario where the Distributor markets certain funds of the AMC, or in cases where a service agent performs back office processing for an AMC as well as a Distributor.
Customer Categories
Your AMC may wish to restrict investment in a fund based on investor categories, allowing only investors of certain categories to invest. Also, your AMC may wish to restrict or allow use of a fund to certain unit holders. You can maintain lists of such allowed / restricted investor categories (or unit holders) in the Fund Entity Maintenance screen in the Fund Manager component of the system.
At the transaction entry or upload (including adjustment transactions), standing instructions entry or upload, or income distribution setup, the unit holders in a restricted list or belonging to the restricted categories cannot be specified. For an allowed list, at the transaction entry or upload (including adjustment transactions), standing instructions entry or upload, or income distribution setup, the unit holders in the allowed list or belonging to the allowed categories can be specified.
If you maintain neither a restrictive nor an allowed list, all customers are allowed to transact in the fund.
CIFs
You might need to restrict certain CIFs from a restricted category from transacting in a fund. You can maintain such restrictions in the Fund Entity Maintenance screen.
You can disallow CIFs belonging to a restricted category (a restrictive list); or, you might require maintaining a list of CIFs that are allowed to transact in a fund (a positive list).
The system checks the CIF number specified for any transaction that is entered in the Transaction Detail screens as well as in the Standing Instructions Detail screen, to see if any restrictions have been maintained that would entail disallowing the specified CIF from transacting into the fund. The restrictions, if any, applicable at the following levels, would be enforced:
Check Vendors
Using this screen, you can also associate a check vendor that is maintained as an entity in the system, with those funds for which the vendor is designated to print checkbooks that are requested by investors availing the check writing facility.
To map entities to a fund, use the ‘Fund Entity Mapping Detail’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘UTDFNENT’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button. The ‘Fund Entity Mapping Detail’ screen is displayed.
Select ‘New’ from the Actions menu in the Application tool bar or click new icon to enter the details of the fund and entity that you wish to map.

Switch transactions are governed by the switching policy indicated for the AMC. Accordingly, switch transactions could either be allowed between funds within the AMC, or between funds within the same fund family.
In the case of Distributors, no switching logic might be indicated.
For a fund, you might require to disallow switch transactions into a few selected funds (a restrictive list); or, you might require maintaining a list of funds into which switch transactions are allowed (a positive list).
Typically, a restrictive list could be required if the switching logic indicated for the AMC entails no restrictions on switch transactions.
You can maintain such restrictive or positive lists for a fund in the ‘Fund Switch Restrict Detail’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘UTDFNSWR’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.
Select ‘New’ from the Actions menu in the Application tool bar or click new icon to enter the details of the lists on switch transactions.
Before you maintain switch restrictions in the Fund Switch Restrictions screen, you must ensure that:

You can specify the following fields in this screen:
Fund ID
Alphanumeric; Mandatory if ISIN Code is not entered
Select the ID of the fund for which you are maintaining a restrictive or positive list of funds for switch transactions. When the restrictive / positive list is applied, the fund you select here is considered the ‘From Fund’.
To select the fund, you can either indicate the Fund ID or the ISIN Code of the fund. When you select the fund, the effective date of the fund is also displayed.
ISIN Code
Alphanumeric; Mandatory if Fund ID is not entered
Select the ISIN Code of the fund for which you are maintaining a restrictive or positive list of funds for switch transactions. When the restrictive / positive list is applied, the fund you select here is considered the ‘From Fund’
To select the fund, you can either indicate the Fund ID or the ISIN Code of the fund. When you select the fund, the effective date of the fund is also displayed.
Restrictive List
Optional
For a fund, you might require to disallow switch transactions into a few selected funds (a restrictive list); or, you might require maintaining a list of funds into which switch transactions are allowed (a positive list)
You can indicate that you are maintaining a restrictive list, by choosing ‘Yes’. To indicate that the list is a positive list, choose ‘No’.
If you indicate a restrictive list, switch transactions into any of the selected funds in the list will not be allowed. If you indicate a positive list, switch transactions are allowed only into any of the selected funds in the list. For a fund, only a restrictive list OR a positive list can be maintained, not both.
Limit Restrictive List To
Alphanumeric; Mandatory
If you have indicated a restrictive list, you can indicate the range of funds for which the restrictive list applies, in this field.
Indicating the range of funds in this field is dependant on the switching logic applicable for the AMC (also in the case of Distributors), as given below:

You need to select the option based on which the Fund Price is to be calculated. The following options are available for calculation of Fund Price:
Net Asset Value
If you choose this option, you must specify the Real NAV per unit, and the system will compute the fund price per transaction, based on whether the fund is formula-based.
Total Assets
If you choose this option, you must specify the Total Assets, and based on the outstanding units, the system computes the net asset value.
Formula Builder
If you choose this option, you must specify values for all the user enterable fields, and the system computes the Net Asset Value.
Real Net Asset Value per Lot
Numeric, Mandatory
Enter the Real NAV per Unit for the period when the price is being set.
This is applicable only if NAV is selected in the Total assets/ NAV / Formula Builder option. If Total Assets is selected, then this is calculated by the system.
If entered, the system validates this value against the fluctuation limits set for the selected transaction type, in the selected fund, in the Transaction Processing Rules. If the limit is exceeded, an override is sought while saving the price.
NAV Lot
Enter the NAV lot amount.
Total Net Assets
Numeric, Optional
Enter the Total Net Asset Value or Fund Corpus for the fund. This is applicable only if Total Assets is selected in the Total Assets / NAV / Formula Builder option. If NAV is selected then this is calculated by the system.
This should never exceed or be equal to the figure of ten thousand trillion, at any point of time.
No. Of Unit Holders
Numeric, Display
This displays the Total Number of unit holders holding a balance in the fund. This number will be the actual number for any given effective date. This is also calculated by the system.
Declared NAV per Lot
Numeric, Display
The NAV declared is displayed here.
Floor Price
Numeric, Mandatory
Enter the Floor Price for the fund. The floor price is to indicate the lowest price that the fund can offer. Based on the loads, if the net transaction price happens to be lower than this floor price then, the floor price would be considered as net transaction price. This will typically be in case of a redemption or a switch transaction.
Ceiling Price
Numeric, Mandatory
Enter the Ceiling Price for the fund. The Ceiling price is to indicate the highest price that the fund can offer. Based on the loads, if the net transaction price happens to be greater than the Ceiling Price then, the Ceiling Price would be considered as the net transaction price. This will typically be in case of a subscription or IPO transaction.
The Floor Price should be less than the Fund Price and the Ceiling Price should be greater than the Fund Price i.e., Fund Price should be between Floor Price and the Ceiling Price.
Foreign Investors Outstanding Units
Numeric, Display
Displays the number of Foreign Investors’ Outstanding Units for the fund that is also calculated by the system. The units displayed prior to allocation are of the previous period and post-allocation, the Foreign Investors’ units will form the balance for the effective day.
The Foreign Investors Outstanding Units should always be below the figure of one hundred trillion, at any point of time.
Amend Transactions
This option allows you to reverse and recreate transactions affected by amending the Fund Price or merely updating the price. Only after you select this option, the transactions included during authorization of the Fund Price are affected.
The system will not reverse and recreate the transactions if any underlying child transaction has been created from the old transaction.
The details specified below are displayed if the related fund is a ‘Hedge Fund’.
Outstanding Units
Numeric, Display
This displays the number of Total Outstanding Units for the fund that is calculated by the system. The units displayed prior to allocation are of the previous period. Post-allocation, the outstanding units will become the balances for the effective day.
The Total Outstanding Units should never exceed or be equal to the figure of ten thousand trillion, at any point of time.
High Water Mark (HWM)]
The high water mark, as per the price date, gets displayed here.
Reflect in Trading
Choose this option if you wish to make this fund price applicable for an investor who maintains a trading account under this fund.
Hurdle Rate
The hurdle rate as per the price date, specified in ‘Hedge Funds Processing Rules’ screen gets displayed here.
HWM + Hurdle
The sum of High Water Mark (HWM) and the hurdle rate, rounded based on the price rounding method, gets displayed here.
Swinging Price Basis
The system displays whether mid/offer/bid price is applied for the fund.
Swinging Price
The system displays the swinging price which is applied for allocating transactions. This field can be amended during the Modify operation.
The Swinging Price Basis and Swinging Price fields are populated on running the Mini EOD for swinging price computation, only if the fund is swinging or semi swinging price basis fund. For non swinging/non semi swinging fund these fields will be blank.
After you have specified the price details, click ‘Ok’ button. The Transaction Details link is enabled, which when clicked, invokes the Fund Transaction Details to be displayed in the lower section of the screen.
The Fund Price details for all the given transaction types are displayed in the Fund Price Transaction Details section.
The transaction base price is calculated based on the definition in the fund rule set up. On clicking ‘Ok’ button, the system defaults the Effective Date, the Transaction Type and the Base Price. You can modify the Base Price Constant.
Allocation Vs Register Capital gives the value that can be redeemed out of the fund on that day. You can modify this field only when the Transaction Type is Redemption, Transfer or Switch From.
The transaction Base Price is calculated on the basis of the definition in the Fund Rule set-up.
Say, for Redemption, the base price definition is 98% of the Fund Price, and then if Fund Price is Rs.100, the Redemption Base Price will be Rs.98.
This section displays the Fund Price details for all the given transaction types. To view this section and its functionality, refer the Fund Formula Maintenance section in this manual.

Based on the entity add info mapping, all mapped additional information is displayed here.
You can maintain fund price currency details by clicking ‘Fund Price Currency Button’ tab in ‘Fund Price Detail’ screen. You can capture the various price details for Fund Price Currency’s for various transaction types and component details for a COE fund in this screen..
The system will validate if the price is maintained for the fund in fund price currencies. if not the system will display an error message as ‘Prices for all currencies are not maintained. Do you wish to continue?’
During the pre EOD, the system will check if price in FPC have been maintained for the day. If the price in currency of expression is not found, then the transaction entered in currency of expression will not be allotted.
The Units will be allocated using respective currency of expression or fund price if the transaction is done in currency of expression. If the transaction is done in fund base currency then the allocation will take place by taking the fund price captured in fund base currency. If the transaction is done in a currency which is other than FBC or currency of expression then the allocation of units will be done using exchange rate of FBC.
For project allocation, the system will take the latest available price and show the project allocation. For menu allocation if the price is not available then system will not allocate the transactions.
NAV Correction for fund price currencies
The system will be impacted for NAV corrections for fund price currencies. In case the NAV is corrected for fund price currency, for instance, if GBP and the amend transaction is set to Yes, then all the transactions will be corrected with the new NAV price for the fund price currency (GBP). In case the amend transaction is set to No, the system will not correct the new price at transaction level.
If it is a holiday at AMC level, then you need to enter the previous price. For instance, assume that we have a fund with price Lag 0 and Allocation lag as 1, and the Client Country, 'FPONALLOCLAG' is set to 1. Also assume 7th March is declared as holiday at AMC level. But as per system calendar, 7th March 2017 is a working Day. Hence, on 6th March 2017, the system will allow you to input price of 3rd March 2017. However, you cannot input price of 6th March 2017 on 7th March 2017 as 7th March 2017 is set as Holiday for this fund. The system will allow you to input 6th March 2017 price only on 8th March 2017.

The holdings of investors in a fund are affected by corporate actions that are declared and processed in respect of the fund such as liquidations, mergers, splits, reverse splits, dividends, capital payouts, side pocket creations, side pocket mergers and so on.
These corporate actions are discussed below:
This corporate action simply means the liquidation of the entire corpus of the fund on a date decided by the fund. The proceeds of such liquidation are paid out to the investors. The date of liquidation is intimated to the investors in advance, so that they may redeem their holdings, prior to the liquidation date, if so desired.
The split corporate action involves the splitting of unit balances of a ‘parent’ fund into a ‘child’ fund. It results in an increase in the total outstanding holdings in the fund. However, both the par value and the price per unit decrease, according to the split ratio.
The reverse split corporate action results in a decrease in the total outstanding holdings in the fund. However, both the par value and the price per unit increase, according to the split ratio.
The split or reverse split ratio could result in fractional balances in the new fund, and in the event of the AMC not allowing such fractional balances, the fractions are redeemed and the proceeds paid out to the unit holders.
A merger involves the merging of unit balances from one or more parent funds into a resultant fund. It can be put through either according to a predetermined user –input ratio or a system-derived ratio of parent fund(s) to the resultant fund
If you wish the system to derive the merger ratio, you should specify the fund(s) being merged (Parent Fund) and the fund into which the merger is happening (Resultant Fund). The system will derive the merger ratio based on the available net asset values of the specified funds.
The merger ratio could result in fractional balances in the new fund, and in the event of the AMC not allowing such fractional balances, the fractions are redeemed and the proceeds paid out to the unit holders.
A capital payout liquidates a preset percentage of unit balances due to transactions in a fund, the proceeds of which are paid out the corresponding unit holders with balances in the fund due to the transactions.
The percentage of balances liquidated, could include units as of the price date of the transaction (all units), transaction date (all or confirmed units) or allocation date (all or confirmed units).
Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing provides the facility of maintaining the corporate actions mentioned above and processing them in respect of a fund.
Side pockets are special type of accounts used in hedge funds to separate illiquid assets from other more liquid investments. Once an investment enters a side pocket account, only the present participants in the hedge fund will be entitled to a share of it. Future investors will not receive a share of the proceeds in the event the asset's returns get realized.
During side pocket creation, percentage-wise redemption transactions are generated for all unit holders, based on the split percentage specified in the corporate action. Unit-wise subscription transactions, equal to units redeemed from the main fund, are generated for side pocket fund.
During side pocket mergers, 100% redemption happens in the side pocket fund. Subscription transactions, equivalent to the side pocket redemption units, are generated for the main fund.
During ‘Series Fund Merger’, the fund series that are maintained separately in the system are consolidated at period end.
Note
After merger process you need to manually disable the follow-up fund series.

SIDEP1 fund will be disabled after merger process. There will not be any change in units of the new unit holders who subscribed in JPMORG after side pocket creation.
During series fund merger, the fund series that are maintained separately in the system are consolidated at period end. For series fund merger, you must maintain related details in the Corporate Actions Maintenance screen. Select the ‘Series Fund Merger’ option in the Corporate Action Type field.
The example given below illustrates the corporate action ‘Series Fund Merger’
Assume that Investor A purchases 1,000 units at the launch of the fund GFUND1, at US$1,000 per unit (HWM of GFUND1). This will be the "Lead Series" of Unit. It is also assumed that the incentive fees are being paid quarterly and HWM of fund is Greater of Subscription Price and Previous high water mark.
Also, assume that at the end of the first month the Gross NAV ("GNAV") (the NAV before deduction of incentive fee) for GFUND1 has risen to US$1,100 and therefore the NAV will be US$1,080, net of US$20 / 20% incentive fee (Assuming performance fee is 20%).
After the first pricing period, you need to create one more fund, say ‘GFUND2’, with NAV same as Lead Series. Assume that at this time Investor B subscribes US$1 million for 1,000 Unit (Series II) at, again US$1,000 (HWM of GFUND2) each.
At the end of second month, assuming that value of fund has risen by further 10%:
After second pricing period, you need to create one more fund with NAV same as Lead Series. Let’s say user create ‘GFUND3’ for creation of Series III as below,
Investor C subscribes US$1 million for 1,000 Series III Unit at, again US$1,000 (HWM of GFUND3) each.
At the end of the third month, the GNAV has yet again risen by a further 10%, so that:
Thus, at the end of the first quarter, as a High Water-Mark ("HWM") has been reached and each of the Series of Unit have paid incentive fees, the Series II and Series III Unit can now be consolidated into the Lead Series.
This can be archived by using Corporate Action screen, by choosing the ‘Series Fund Merger’ option to merge GFUND2 (Series II) and GFUND3 (Series III) into GFNUD1 (Lead Series) as below,
Therefore, Investor B's units are worth US$1,168.00, which equates to 923.466 units at the NAV per Lead Series, at US$1,264.80 each.
Investor C will effectively liquidate his 1,000 Unit of US$1,080,000 and invest the proceeds of that liquidation into the Lead Series at US$1,264.80 per share, to receive 853.890 Lead Series Unit.

You can search the record for Fund ID by using the combination of % and alphanumeric value as follows:-
You can modify the details of a Corporate Actions record that you have already entered into the system, provided it has not been subsequently authorized. You can perform this operation as follows:
To view a record that you have previously input, you must retrieve the same in the Corporate Actions Summary screen as follows:
You can delete only unauthorized records in the system. To delete a record that you have previously entered:
An unauthorized Corporate Actions record must be authorized in the system for it to be processed. To authorize a record:
When a checker authorizes a transaction, details of validation, if any, that were overridden by the maker of the transaction during the Save operation are displayed. If any of these overrides results in an error, the checker must reject the transaction.
When you authorize a corporate action, you must re-key the liquidation price (for liquidations) or the parent – resultant ratio (for splits, reverse splits and mergers)
After a Corporate Actions record is authorized, it can be modified using the Unlock operation from the Action List. To make changes to a record after authorization:
When you amend an authorized corporate action after it has been processed, you can only alter the liquidation price, lot size and book closing period (for liquidations) or the new unit par value, book closing period and parent – resultant ratio (for splits, reverse splits and mergers). The original corporate action is marked ‘cancelled’, and a new record is created, with a link to the original action record. Also, the book closing dates can be entered if required.
The exchange rate details, such as the rate source and rate date, can be amended provided the corporate action has not been processed.
When you amend an authorized corporate action before it has been processed, the amendment operation is similar to an edit operation. All the validations performed by the system when a new corporate actions record is initiated, are applicable. In this mode, the corporate action can also be marked as ‘cancelled’, in which case it will not be processed.
An amended Corporate Actions record must be authorized for the amendment to be made effective in the system. The authorization of amended records can be done only from Fund Manager Module and Agency Branch module.
The subsequent process of authorization is the same as that for normal records.
When you reverse a corporate action that has been processed, the original action record is marked as ‘cancelled’, and the reversal is processed either by the Beginning of Day process (if designated as automatic) or manually, through the Corporate Action Processing screen.
In case of reversal or amendment of a corporate action after original processing, a reversal transaction is generated for all the transactions for the day with reference types indicating Split/ Reverse Split/ Merger/ Rollback/ Capital Payout.
If you want to create a new Corporate Actions record with the same attributes of an existing maintenance, you can copy the attributes of an existing Corporate Actions record to a new one.
To copy the attributes:
This section contains the following topics:

Maintenance of Switch Out transaction type for the ‘From’ fund
For corporate actions involving different parent and resultant funds, the system checks that the Switch Out transaction type has been maintained and is allowable for the ‘From’ fund. This is a mandatory check and processing of the corporate action cannot continue if it is unsuccessful.
Maintenance of Switch In transaction type for the ‘To’ fund
For corporate actions involving different parent and resultant funds, the system checks that the Switch In transaction type has been maintained and is allowable for the ‘To’ fund. This is a mandatory check and processing of the corporate action cannot continue if it is unsuccessful.
Funds for which fractional balances are not allowed, with rounding rules other than ‘truncate’
In case fractional units need to be paid out in the resulting fund, the system checks that the rounding options in the General Operating Rules must be set to ‘truncate’. If this has not been set for the resultant fund for the Switch In transaction type, an appropriate warning message is displayed. This is a mandatory check and processing of the corporate action cannot continue if it is unsuccessful.
According to the checks listed above, the appropriate messages that would be displayed as a result of performing the pre-processing checks are shown in the table below. A severity level of ‘Warning’ indicates an optional check, which would not impede the processing of the corporate action if the check fails.

Liquidation
During execution, the corporate actions procedure picks up all liquidations whose corporate action date is the same as the current date, and with status as ‘unprocessed’ or ‘error’. Subsequently, the pre-processing checks are performed. The liquidation procedure is then executed, which performs the following actions:
Fund Split / Reverse Split
During execution, the corporate actions procedure picks up all splits (or reverse splits, as applicable) whose corporate action date is the same as the current date, and with status as ‘unprocessed’ or ‘error’. Subsequently, the pre-processing checks are performed. The split (or reverse split, as applicable) procedure is then executed, which performs the actions as shown below, in the appropriate scenario:
Note
When units resulting from processing of a corporate action are redeemed, the computation of capital gains tax (CGT) in respect of them takes the corporate action into account.
Fund Merger
During execution, the corporate actions procedure picks up all mergers whose corporate action date is the same as the current date, and with status as ‘unprocessed’ or ‘error’. Subsequently, the pre-processing checks are performed. In case of the merger ratio not being specified, the system derives the parent-child ratio based on the respective net asset values of the funds in the merger.
The merge procedure is then executed, which performs the actions as shown below, in the appropriate scenario:
Note
When units resulting from processing of a corporate action are redeemed, the computation of capital gains tax (CGT) in respect of them takes the corporate action into account.

Reconciliation is a process by which you will be able to match the bank statement entries with the corresponding transaction entries. System allows you to track reconciled, un-reconciled and partially reconciled transactions with the corresponding reconciled, un-reconciled and partially reconciled bank statement entries.
On uploading the bank statement, system will try to reconcile the entries automatically and update the cheque status as provided in the bank statement. Auto Reconciliation will happen based on the matching of Fund ID, Instrument Number, Instrument Amount and Drawee Bank/Branch code. Auto reconciled entries will be auto authorized by the system.
Manual reconciliation should be done for entries which the system fails to do auto reconciliation.
Reconciliation activity can be performed through the ‘Bank Reconciliation Detail’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘UTDBKREC’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button. The ‘Bank Reconciliation Detail’ screen is displayed.
The screen is divided into two frames; Bank Statement Search Option and Trade Search Option. Use the Bank statement search option to specify the search criteria to retrieve the uploaded bank statement entries. Similarly, use the Trade search option to specify the search criteria to retrieve the transaction entries that you want to reconcile.
Select the New option in the Operation field in this screen, to signify reconciliation.
Reconciliation activity can be amended in the same screen, by selecting the Amend option in the Operation field.

Hedge fund managers charge the investors a fee called performance fee, which is a percentage of the gains received by the investor. As investors enter and exit hedge funds at different points in time, the performance gains received by them also differ accordingly.
Hence, the performance fee calculations are carried out using a special accounting methodology called equalization accounting which ensures that the fund manager is paid the correct performance fee and also that the fees are fairly allocated between each investor in the fund. The investors also receive profit only for the period during which they stay invested in the fund.
The following performance fee calculation methods are supported for hedge funds:
Note
Variations to the above listed methods are also possible by setting up new rules and rule groups in the system.
The different performance fee calculation methods are briefly explained below:
Contingent Liquidation
The contingent liquidation method is an arithmetic method applied to subscriptions made at a price below the current HWM plus hurdle rate.
The contingent liquidation process helps the investor avoid paying unfair performance fees, in case the fund recovers in price. This mechanism ensures that the investor pays the same rate of performance fees as all other investors for any gain in value.
Equalization Credit
The equalization credit method is an arithmetic method applied to subscriptions made at a price (GAVPS) above the current HWM plus hurdle rate.
The equalization credit process ensures that the investor does not pay performance fees for performance prior to investing in the fund. This process calculates a number of shares, identified as the equalization credit holding, in the name of the investor, and is tracked during the life-time of the dealing lot.
Forced Redemption
The forced redemption method is an arithmetic method applied to all subscriptions made at a price (GAVPS) regardless of whether it is above or below the current HWM plus hurdle rate.
The forced redemption method ensures that all investors are treated equitably with regard to the paying of performance fees for performance since investing in the fund. This process calculates the number of shares to be redeemed either at the point of an early redemption or at the end of the performance fee period based on the movement of the price since subscription time.
An EOD batch ‘Performance Fee Payment Process’ is used to process period end calculation of performance fee, based on the next payment date defined at the Fund Rule. The steps involved in the processing of performance fee can be summarized in the steps given below:.
Note
The reference type ‘PE’ identifies the transactions generated due to period end calculations.
An EOD batch ‘Performance Fee Accrual Process’ handles the accrual of performance fee, based on the next accrual date defined at the Fund Rule. The accrual of the performance fee is carried out as follows:
Note
Accruals are performed only for reporting purpose and there will be no impact on transaction processing or further performance fee calculation.
If you wish to change the performance fee calculation method for a given fund, you need to perform the steps given below. Two scenarios are explained based on the crystallization of the performance fee.
Case 1:
In this scenario, the crystallization of the performance fee is not required using existing performance fee method.
Assume that the existing Fund Rule setup is as given below:
Above setup indicates that the fund 'HFUND1' uses 'EC/CL' methodology for calculating performance fee. If you want to change the PF calculation method for the fund from ‘EC/CL’ to ‘FR’ (e.g. Group ID '8002') from 01-May-2009 onwards and period end processing is not required, then you need to perform the steps given below.
Case 2:
In this scenario, the performance fee needs to be crystallized using existing performance fee method.
Assume that the existing Fund Rule setup is as given below:
The above Fund Rule setup indicates that the fund 'HFUND1' is using 'EC/CL' methodology for calculating performance fee. If you want to change the PF calculation method for the fund from ‘EC/CL’ to ‘FR’ (e.g. Group ID '8002') from 01-May-2009 onwards and want the system to process period end calculation using existing method (8001) then, hen you need to perform the steps given below.
In the series method of performance fee calculation, a new series is created for a fund each time there are new subscribers for each pricing period during the performance fee period. These series are maintained separately until the time they are consolidated with other series belonging to the same fund.
The consolidation for each of the subsequent series issued usually happens at the end of every accounting period. For the consolidation to happen, an incentive fee needs to be paid for each of the series, including the series in which it is being merged, which could be done quarterly, half-yearly, or annually.
Note
You need to manually create new fund series for each fund pricing period and also handle the consolidation of the fund series operationally. The system does not provide any automated tasks to achieve this.
This section contains the following topics:
You can specify trade cycle dates that are different from the ones defined for a fund for transactions falling within a limited period (known as the ‘Override Period’). If you maintain these details, for the transactions that take place within the period, the system will use the dates you have maintained rather than the ones at the fund level. This facility is available only for funds with specific fund prices and for the following events:
You can define the alternate trade cycle dates and the override period in the ‘Override Trade Cycle Date’ screen. To invoke this screen, type ‘UTDTDCYL’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.
You can maintain the following details here:
You can specify the following fields in this screen:
Fund ID
Alphanumeric; Mandatory
Specify the ID of the fund for which you wish to maintain different trade cycle dates for transactions made during the override period. You can also select the fund ID from the adjoining option list. The list contains the IDs of all the funds which have a specific fund price setup.
Fund ISIN
Display Only
The system displays the Fund ISIN.
Fund Name

Date Format; Mandatory
Enter the starting date of the override period. This should be a valid date in the system and can be before, after or equal to the system date.
Transaction To Date
Date Format; Mandatory
Enter the ending date of the override period. This should be a valid date in the system and can be before, after or equal to the system date.
For all the transactions falling within the ‘Transaction From Date’ and ‘Transaction To Date’, the system will default the dealing, settlement and price dates maintained here.
Dealing Date
Date Format; Mandatory
Specify a valid date as the dealing date. This date should be greater than or equal to the the ‘Transaction To Date’. It can also be a holiday as per the system.
Settlement Date
Date Format; Mandatory
Enter a valid date as the settlement date. The date entered should be greater than or equal to the ‘Transaction From Date’ and should not be a fund, currency or system holiday.If the settlement date is a holiday in transaction currency, then the system will update the next working day of the transaction currency as settlement date
Price Date
Date Format; Mandatory
Enter a valid date as the price date. The date entered should be greater than or equal to the ‘Transaction To Date’ but not a fund holiday.
After you authorize the maintenance, the dealing date, settlement date and price date for a transaction type will be displayed in the transaction if the transactions falls within the override period specified and if no transaction has been allotted within the override period.
