Data Feed: PortfolioMaster

Category: MasterFeed

Summary:

    The PortfolioMaster feed is used to create and refresh basic information for Portfolio instances. Portfolios usually represent real accounts whose holdings are supplied from an accounting system. The Portfolio class is described in detail in the Portfolio Management Application Classes document. A number of related fields are available to create Portfolio holdings and to update other account-based information.

Available Fields:

--- Required Fields ---

--- Other Fields ---

sortCode sortCode String sort code

Special Processing Rules:

  • The entityId is the unique id that permanently identifies the Portfolio. When a new Portfolio is created, this field is used to update the code property of the new instance. This id is also added to the Named Portfolio and Named Account naming dictionaries. If a non-portfolio instance with this id is already defined in the Named Account dictionary, this reference is replaced with the reference to the new Portfolio instance.

  • To distinguish Portfolio instances from instances of other Account subclasses that may be identified with the same id, a unique identifier is created by prepending the string P_ to the entityId. This id is used to update the uniqueId property of new Portfolio instances and is added to the Account naming dictionary as well.

  • The currencyId is used to identify the currency in which monetary values for the portfolio are displayed by default. This includes the totalMarketValue and the totalMarketValueCash values for the Portfolio as well as the totalMarketValue for its individual holdings. The default value is US Dollars.
