3.1.1.3 CIFs

This topic provides information on 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:

• Unit Holder Account
• CIF
• Investor Category
