Properties required for Shareholding Disclosure - Global Short Selling

To ensure 100% disclosure coverage in all 102 jurisdictions for all asset classes, all of the following properties are required.
It is possible you might 'get away' with less e.g. if you are NOT shorting in Korea you don't need to provide ClassSharesOutstandingListedOnKRX. But obviously if you start trading there in the future you will need this data. Therefore we recommend trying to populate as much as possible
The only way to be sure you are providing enough data is to go into the system and ensure you have no Missing Data / Unknowns - see here.
Validation will fail if any of the properties marked with Required are missing. Additionally, incorrectly formatted input values can lead to validation failures, e.g. providing a blank value for a decimal property. A default value will be provided for those properties marked with Defaulted. Please note; For rules that require netting, we will automatically do so, thus you should not net positions provided in the positions file. For more information on this please see here

For information on integrating via API, please see our technical documentation. For all other information please see our Zendesk HelpCentre



Asset Properties

An asset is the specific position a portfolio has in an instrument. Instrument properties are independent of portfolio, whereas asset properties are specific to the portfolio

Property Name Applies To Description Data type Valid values & notes Rules Jurisdictions
AssetId required All Unique identifier for the asset String(255) e.g. Use InstrumentId + AssetClass to signify the unique asset, or another significant unique combination such as ISIN + LocalTicker or ISIN + Execution Venue (these are also provided by the exchange-level FIGI or quote-level PermID).
1. Must be unique for every asset in the portfolio (but may be duplicated across portfolios) or else validation will fail and
2. Consistent across NAV dates or else HasActivity will not work and the UI will mark all assets as new
All All
AssetName required All Name of the asset String(255) Used as the primary display name for the asset, so ensure this name is meaningful All All
CustomerAssetId UI All Customer defined Id String(255) Only used in UI
Optional field to be populated with a customer's own internal Id specification as reference. For example, an Id different to the AssetId used in FundApps.
- -
ExecutionVenue ADR, Convertible, Equity, PreferredEquity, Rights, Unit, Warrant Market identification code (MIC) for the market that this position is traded and executed on. All shares of the position need to share this venue, otherwise split out the positions so they are venue-specific. String(255) ISO 10383 code (MIC). Leave this field blank if not able to source at the position level.
If a holding is composed of the same class (ISIN) having been executed on multiple venues, separate instruments and separate AssetIDs should be declared in the position file for each quantity of shares executed on each market.

IncludeInShortAU All This can be used to explicitly state if an asset should be included in the Short selling: Australia rules. Boolean 2 1
IsDeltaHedged Convertible, Warrant If a long convertible bond or warrant should be delta hedged by an offsetting short position in equity for Short selling in Japan Boolean Used in: Short selling in Japan. The default requirement for Short Selling Japan is to net short equities with long equities and separately net short convertibles with long convertibles. The rule has an exemption to this default that allows for netting of short equity positions with long convertible bond and warrant positions on a delta hedged basis. If you would like to take advantage of this delta hedge exemption you must set the asset property IsDeltaHedged = True and provide a delta value for long convertible bonds and warrants. 1 1
MarketValue All Market value of a position in portfolio currency Decimal If the market value can't be provided in portfolio currency, it should be provided in instrument currency (property MarketValueInInstrumentCurrency). For derivatives, this should represent the fair market value and should be provided with accrued interest. For non-derivative assets, market value should be provided without accrued interest. For bonds, the regulation does not specify the method but we suggest using the face value multiplied by the bond's dirty price to calculate the market value. 3 2
MarketValueInInstrumentCurrency All Market value of a position in instrument currency Decimal Should only be provided if the market value can't be provided in portfolio currency (property MarketValue). For derivatives, this should represent the fair market value and should be provided with accrued interest. For non-derivative assets, market value should be provided without accrued interest. For bonds, the regulation does not specify the method but we suggest using the face value multiplied by the bond's dirty price to calculate the market value. 3 2
Quantity required All Equities - Number of shares held
Bonds (including Convertibles) - Total nominal value of the position, divided by the FaceValue of the (single) bond instrument.
ETF - Number of units held
Derivatives - Number of contracts held
Decimal Short sale positions - Insert a negative quantity for positions resulting from short sale transactions.
Lending/Borrowing/Collateral (SFTType) - For any asset which does NOT have an SFTType set to 'Normal', insert only positive quantities.
CDS - For credit default swaps, use a negative quantity for protection buys (which is an effective short position) and a positive quantity for protection sells (which is an effective long position).
82 40
QuantitySettle All On settlement date: Equities - Number of shares held
Bonds (including Convertibles) - Total nominal value of the position, divided by the FaceValue of the (single) bond instrument.
ETF - Number of units held
Derivatives - Number of contracts held
Decimal Short sale positions - Insert a negative quantity for positions resulting from short sale transactions.
Lending/Borrowing/Collateral (SFTType) - For any asset which does NOT have an SFTType set to 'Normal', insert only positive quantities.

ClassSharesOutstandingListedOnKRX Equity, PreferredEquity Total amount of a class of shares in circulation on the KRX (XKOS, XKRX) Decimal This property is only required for the South Korean short selling rules. While ClassSharesOutstandingListedOnKRX may be identical to ClassSharesOutstanding for many issuers, it is not always the case. For dual listed issuers, this property omits outstanding shares not listed on the KRX (KOSPI Stock Market or KOSDAQ Market). 2 1
ContractSize Forward, Future, Option, Warrant Contract size of a derivative (i.e. number of the underlying that a single contract converts into).

CountryOfRCAMTFsDRs defaulted ADR Country of Relevant Competent Authority (RCA) for depository receipts trading on MTFs in the European Economic Area (EEA). FundApps automatically populates this property by looking up the relevant instrument's ISIN (or underlying ISIN) in FIRDS, published by ESMA.
Please note that this property is specific for the Dutch short selling equity rules. In light of AFM's clarification that they view depositary receipts (DRs) as equated with 'shares' (the underlying of the DR) since a DR is issued with the company's cooperation, the property looks at the ISIN of a DR to determine the relevant competent authority (RCA) for disclosure purposes.
String(255) There is an option to fill in this property with the respective Relevant Competent Authority (represented as a country code) directly in the positions file, otherwise, FundApps looks it up in the FIRDS list. 1 1

In light of AFM's clarification that they view depositary receipts (DRs) as equated with 'shares' (the underlying of the DR) since a DR is issued with the company's co-operation, the property looks at the ISIN of a DR to determine the relevant competent authority (RCA) for disclosure purposes.
String(255) There is an option to fill in this property with the respective Relevant Competent Authority (represented as a country code) directly in the positions file, otherwise, FundApps looks it up in the FIRDS list. 1 1
Delta CDS, CFD, Convertible, Forward, Future, Option, Swap, Warrant The Delta measures the degree to which the derivative is exposed to shifts in the price of the underlying asset (price sensitivity with relation to the underlying). Under the European Transparency Directive (TDA) cash settled instruments should be Delta weighted. All cash settled instruments (where IsCashSettled=True) must have a Delta value. Under the Short-Selling Regulation (SSR) all derivatives (including convertibles) should be delta weighted regardless of settlement and therefore a delta must be provided. Decimal Valid Values: -1 to 1. For instruments with negative delta (e.g. put options), the system will accept the absolute value (i.e. positive value) and this will not affect the rule calculations and results. So for a put option with delta -0.5, both 0.5 and -0.5 are accepted by FundApps. 69 34
DurationAdjustment Bond Modified duration of a bond Decimal This is used for calculating the appropriate exposure for EU Sovereign Debt Short Selling Regulation.

String(255) If a holding is composed of the same class (ISIN) having been traded on multiple venues, separate instruments and separate AssetIDs should be declared in the position file for each quantity of shares traded on each market. A traded instrument can be identified by exchange using SEDOL, exchange-level FIGI or quote-level PermID).
(For Singapore) This property is required for disclosure forms, and will allow the Singapore Short selling rule to run on only the quantity of shares traded on SGX-ST (i.e. in scope for disclosure.)
(For Hong Kong) This property will allow certain Hong Kong-listed securities without an ISIN assigned to be picked up by the Hong Kong Takeover and Hong Kong short selling Rules. Please ignore the zero prefix (leading zeros) when providing the local ticker. For example, please provide '5' instead of '00005' for HSBC holdings shares listed in Hong Kong.
5 5
MarketsListedIn ADR, Bond, CDS, CFD, Convertible, Equity, Future, Option, PreferredEquity, Rights, Swap, Unit, Warrant List of all market identification codes (MICs) where the instrument is listed - should be a list of all markets that the instrument is listed on, and should include the primary market. List ISO 10383 code (MIC). Insert the MICs of all markets that the instrument is listed on (should include the primary market). Where a specific market segment is different than the Operating MIC, please use the specific market segment since the Operating MIC is the parent market venue only.
For instruments which are truly over-the-counter (OTC), use the value recommended by the ISO standard: XXXX
For instruments where the market is completely unknown, use the value: XMIC (which is not an ISO code but a suggested default value in such cases).
It is critical that for any market, segment MICs are provided. Please see ISO's official FAQs for the MIC standard under the section 'MIC LEVELS', making note of the definitions for 'market segment MIC' and 'operating MIC' including the point that 'The use of market segment MICs provides more accuracy.'
FundApps is unable to validate whether our clients are providing the MICs at the granularity of segment MIC; we strongly recommend that you re-confirm with your data provider(s) that MICs are provided at segment MICs level.
15 8
Notional CDS, Forward, Future, Option, Swap, Unit The reference value of the derivative/bond-fund instrument (in instrument currency) in terms of the underlying debt instruments. Applies to derivatives on bonds, derivatives on bond indices or holdings of sovereign bond funds. This may be the face value or a multiple of the face value of underlying debt. For bond funds or bond indices, this will be the sum of the individual bond constituent holding values (not market values), in a common currency. Decimal We have further guidance on this property in Help Centre. 37 33
Price All Price of the instrument in instrument currency. For bonds and convertibles, the price must be stated as a percentage of the face value of an individual bond (since this is the way bonds are quoted on the market). Decimal 46 39

TotalSharesInTreasury Equity, PreferredEquity, Unit [Issuer Property] Total amount of shares held in treasury by the issuer. Excludes outstanding shares (held by investors).

TotalSharesOutstanding Equity, PreferredEquity, Unit [Issuer Property] Total amount of issued shares in circulation (held by investors) for an issuer. Includes the outstanding shares from all share classes. Excludes treasury stock. Decimal For Unit funds structured as ETFs this should reflect the number of units issued.
Please note that we have heard from clients that some of the values sourced from major data providers can include Treasury Shares for certain countries in which case your denominator can be overstated, leading to inaccurate holding calculations.
