Data Adapter - 3rd Party data providers

Data Adapter provides a service for clients wanting to save time implementing FundApps. Data Adapter takes a basic CSV of a client's positions, connects to 3rd party market data providers and maps the data back from them, directly into the FundApps specification for Shareholding Disclosure, Sensitive Industries and Position Limits

In order to provide the Data Adapter service we require clients choose a data vendor to source data from. Currently we support the below interfaces

• Bloomberg - Data Licence
• LSEG - Data Scope Select

FundApps has mappings for both services and are agnostic to the choice of vendor a client makes. Be aware that both vendors may have gaps in individual fields and asset class coverage. We have documented the most commonly known or broad asset class coverage in each of the Data Adapter specification pages for Shareholding Disclosure and Position Limits

LSEG - Data Scope Select

Data Adapter connects directly to LSEG's Data Scope Select product via REST API. We use the composite extraction template request located on the ExtractWithNotes endpoint. We request a static list of fields for each call and batch requests based on LSEG's recommendations.

The LSEG DSS interface supports looking up instruments via:

• ISIN Code
• Sedol Code
• Cusip Code
• LSEG Instrument Code (RIC) e.g. VOD.L

Bloomberg - Data Licence / Data Licence+

Data Adapter connects directly to Bloomberg's Data Licence (via Web Services) interface, using the SOAP API via the submitGetDataRequest endpoint. For the programflag we use oneshot by default and can use adhoc if requested.

Bloomberg's Data Licence+ over Data Licence Web Services is also supported - FundApps can enable the relevant flags for requests to go via the DL+ Service if required.

This interface provides potential access to many different fields and packages at Bloomberg. By default Data Adapter calls all of its fields (contact us for an extract if required) which are from the following Bloomberg packages:

• Open Source
• Packaged
• Security Master
• Derived - End of Day*
• Derived - Intraday*
• Fundamentals*
• Pricing - End of Day*
• Pricing - Intraday*

The below table is desigend to give an indication of which Bloomberg packages are relevant to each asset class; those with a * are optional and can be switched off. Note this can cause some missing data or the use of less optimal fields.
For example, Pricing Intraday applies to all asset classes, as it provides price data, though many clients choose to specify this in the input file, negating the need to call it from the vendor.

It is important to note that Data Adapter will call ALL fields for enabled packages regardless of asset class, as the class isn't known until data is returned.
