To define investment pool participant information, use the Participant Information component (TRP_PART_DEFN).

When an entity joins an investment pool, the organizational entity's name, and the person who is authorized to act on behalf of the entity must be recorded. In addition, the participating entity may have alternative pools in which to invest based on their investment objectives.

Each entity can have one or more accounts that tie them to a pool:

  • One account that is used for making deposits to the investment pool. (required)

  • One account that is used for tracking investment income. (optional)

Participants typically set up both accounts—deposit accounts for the depositing new funds into the pool and income accounts for accruing income from the pool. Each pool account has at least one general ledger account and related fund.

Use the Participant Information page (TRP_PART_DEFN) to define the account details of a participant of an investment pool.
