Standard Solution May 2024 - Release notes

The Bloomberg market data connector now supports overriding default price type on a security-by-security basis by adding "@" and the price type after the update code. For example, you can specify "BBG000C267K7@PX_CLOSE" to ensure that PX_CLOSE is used as the price type. Until now, only two price types could be specified in the close fields. Now you can use, for example, PX_YEST_CLOSE for equities, PX_LAST_EOD for futures, PX_SETTLE for options, FUND_NET_ASSET_VAL for funds, and PX_YEST_BID/PX_YEST_ASK for fixed income. For more information, see Set up Bloomberg market data connector in FA Admin guide.

You can now configure bulk trade order execution to transfer settlement place and market place information to the underlying client orders or transactions during the process execution.

We introduced two new transaction types: "Fund exchange" and "Fund merge". Fund exchanges are for exchanging fund share class units with units from another share class without realizing profits. Unlike in an "Exchange", fund exchanges are done at the end of the day. Fund merges are for merging a fund share class with another without realizing profits. Fund merges have the same effect as fund exchanges but you can use them to separate merges for reporting.

The "Spin-off (SPO)" transaction type now maintains the FIFO chain.

We added an improved workflow and new transaction types for Futures. For more information, see Futures with margin accounts and Transaction types for security transactions in FA User guide.

You can now create deferrals for the difference between the original purchase value and the market value using the new "Deferral of positions based on original purchase value" option. For more information, see Run deferrals in FA User guide.Run deferrals

In FA Operations, you can now use cash reconciliations based on CAMT.053 account statements with other reconciliation groups in addition to the default group. The new option is available in Tools → Administer → Data aggregation → Reconciliation. For more information, see Reconciling cash accounts in FA User guide.

Query monitoring now allows you to receive query monitoring results as a table in an HTML file instead of a CSV file.

Security types are now arranged alphabetically, eliminating the issue of random ordering in Overview and reports.
