Standard Solution March 2024 - Release notes

Released: March 28th, 2024

The Standard Solution March 2024 release introduces support for mass-generating trade orders for switching portfolio positions as well as other improvements and fixes.

Support for mass-generating trade orders for switching portfolio positions

Why? 

We implemented this feature to facilitate switching existing positions in portfolios, for example, when discontinuing a fund or changing the model portfolio.

Who is this for? 

This update is for users who need to fully or partially switch a position to another in multiple portfolios.

Details 

You can now mass-generate transactions or trade orders based on existing positions using the Create transactions button in the Positions view. You can define the amount of the transaction or trade order as a percentage relative to the position size, and use this for fully or partially selling a position, as an alternative way of entering certain types of corporate actions, and now also for switching a position.

In the new window for creating transactions, you can define details for the redemption (or sell) leg and the subscription (or buy) leg. This creates two trade orders linked together in each portfolio. When the redemption trade order is executed, the subscription trade order is automatically updated with the redemption trade amount.
