Portfolio Products Summary – Client Manager

Portfolio Products are the way in which we reflect investments within a client's portfolio.

Products are the way in which we reflect investments within a client's investment portfolio
Products can be created in three ways:

1. A Product Feed - such as SuperRatings providing us with data about certain products
2. Investment Datafeeds - such as Macquarie providing information about a specific product
3. Custom Creation - a user can create a bespoke product within the system if required - see here for more information on custom creation
Products are visible at three levels:

1. System Level - these are standard/generic products as well as products created from datafeeds that are available for all users to see
2. Dealer Level - these are additional products that a Dealer/System Administrator may have created that are available for all users that are part of that Dealer Group to interact with
3. Practice Level - these are products that a normal user has created and they are available for all members of that Practice to interact with

Everyday we receive data sounding Managed Funds, ETPs, Ordinary Shares and Bonds which is then what populates information around pricing, asset allocation and product 'Types' - if there are ever discrepancies with this information, we can alert relevant providers to have this rectified

Data from SuperRatings is provided to us once a fortnight to ensure that we can present a comprehensive list of platforms/products

Investment Datafeeds provide product and transaction related information
If we receive data via a Datafeed that contains information for a product that is not currently in the database, the system will create that Product (at Practice level)
Information such as the asset allocation, instrument, type (tax structure), price/price date, etc are based on the information provided in the Datafeed - if this data is not provided, the system will insert default mapping values
