Fixes in Analytics+

  • Fixed an issue on the gross TWR calculation in Strategy Analyzer when the main query and its sub-query had different analysis dates.

  • Analytics+ now handles correctly the case where a short position has a buy and a sell transaction done on the same day.

  • In Analytics+, when running an analysis, if a security had an allocation change within the analysis time period, then the market value of that security was incorrectly calculated.

  • Fixed an issue on the Analytics API where an analysis was failing when there was missing market data on the analysis start date.

  • Some Custom Columns in Analytics were having an incorrect number format set by the platform due to the column names: now the system does not override those and only considers the configurations made by the user.

  • Fixed an issue where Analytics+ Custom Columns could not reset to their default format.

  • Fixed an issue where some Analytics GraphQL API calls got some errors when users have some limited visibility on portfolios.

  • Improved the error message in the sections where users can run GraphQL queries.

  • In Analytics+, the Absolute exposure-related figures now display the correct amount of decimals when the position is not in the portfolio currency.

Fixes in importing

  • Importing a price to a security that does not yet have a price for that day, does now work without error logs.

Fixes in search functionality

  • When searching for transactions you can now see in the drop-down the different types in alphabetical order, no matter what language you are using.

Other fixes

  • You can now correctly see the "Pre-trade" button in the Trade window when changing trade status or creating a new order through "save & new (copy)".

  • When doing an FX contract and choosing "sell" as the first type, you will now see the corresponding account on the same line.

  • When logging in as a new user via Signicat to FA Front the user now gets logged in at the first attempt.

  • Versions for changes in transaction type do now track all fields correctly.

Restructuring

  • We stopped audit logging every rule run. This way the audit logs are reduced in size and it's much easier to browse them.

  • In addition, there are several fixes concerning unnecessary logging and log spam.

Developer tools

  • GraphlQL now allows you to list, complete, delete, save tasks and to handle attachments to a task.

  • GraphQL now allows you to list and download documents.

Updates to FA Back 3.14

FA Back 3.14.1 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.1 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • Generating a combined report package where some included report packages have “current month/quarter/year” parameter does now give you the correct time range.

  • Saving a report package without customer/portfolio information does now result in customer/portfolio drop-down being visible on “combined report packages” tab.

  • Fixed an issue related to wrong parameters picked up in cases where multiple report packages are selected one after another.

  • When filling in the client onboarding form the entered information is now visible in FA Back.

FA Back 3.14.2 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.2 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • Fixed an issue related to bond positions occasionally getting a "jump" in daily accrued interest, which disappeared when re-calculating report data but re-appeared regularly.

  • Rebalance logic now works correctly when you have a negative cash balance and you "restrict rebalancing to accounts" to cover for negative cash. In this scenario, rebalancing now only sells as much as it needs to cover for negative cash but nothing more, as it should. In addition, Rebalancing Preference "target range for portfolio's cash balance" is now handled correctly even if the minmum target range is negative - if portfolio's cash balance is outside the traget, portfolio is rebalanced normally.

  • Fixed an issue related to users being able to access Overview when logging in even if Overview was disabled but no other view was enabled either. Now, if user doesn't have permission to access any view, user is not allowed to log in.

FA Back 3.14.3 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.3 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • Additional fixes in Rebalance logic now ensure that the rebalance logic works correctly when you have a negative cash balance and you "restrict rebalancing to accounts" to cover for negative cash. In this scenario, rebalancing now only sells as much as it needs to reach the level set for cash in the investment plan / model portfolio but nothing more, as it should.

  • Fixed an issue in the nightly report data update logic that resulted in incorrect value change and TWR figures for some positions that had exchanges in their history. The nightly report data update now handles positions with exchanges the same way recalculating all report data did already before, correctly calculating all components related to positions with exchanges.

  • When importing FX contracts, the resulting cashflow transactions are now created with the correct trade amount. After changes in FA 3.14, cashflow transactions were incorrectly created with 0 trade amount when importing contracts.

  • Fixed an issue related to saving archive data occasionally failing, causing issues in extensions that use archive data to store information.

  • GraphQL endpoints for fetching report items and sub items are no longer available for users with limited visibility, to ensure limited visibility users don't get access to report data they are not allowed to see.

FA Back 3.14.4 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.4 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • The main portfolio shows the correct values after refreshing, when changing “aggregation of sub-portfolios” between “recalculate values” and “sum-up values".

  • Users with limited visibility can now access FA Client Portal.

  • You can now correctly cover a negative balance on the account with “restrict rebalancing to accounts”. If having a security that is not part of the investment plan the rebalancing do not sell the whole position, if less is required to cover the negative balance.

  • Importing a portfolio now correctly updates the values in “aggregation of sub-portfolios” and “locked” fields.

  • Analytics+ view no longer unnecessarily loads all securities in the system for the new Securities tab, making it faster to access the screen even when you have a lot of securities in the system.

FA Back 3.14.5 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.5 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • Trade order execution updates now unit price, fee and FX rate correctly, when they are changed in trade order execution, and when execution method is "gross trade amount".

  • Transaction types with purchase price unit price profit effect now register net cashflow on position level.

FA Back 3.14.6 Release notes

FA Back 3.14.6 is an update to FA Back 3.14. This update includes the following fixes:

  • Trade order execution do now keep the gross trade amount the same when defining execution parameters and “use the execution method” is selected and when execution method is "gross trade amount" on the trade order.

  • Fixed an issue in the Strategy Analyzer logic - it no longer produces an error when a strategy portfolio ID (strategyPortfolioId) is provided explicitly when calling the Strategy Analyzer API.
