How to use FSQ IDs in the Fundamental Data Form (FDF)

In the following, we would like to explain you, how to use Fundsquare's internal identification numbers of instruments which are available in column 45, 46, 47 of the Fundamental Data Form (Id Fund, Id Sub-Fund, Id Share-Class).

(1) Modification of an instrument

If you modify an instrument the three FSQ Id must not be changed under no circomstances.

For example, if you want to change a sub-fund name, the new name must be reported in the appropriate cell. DO NOT CHANGE the FSQ IDs.

(2) Closure of an instrument

If you want to close an instrument, the appropriate cells in column 13, 24, 34 have to be completed with the closure date. DO NOT CHANGE the FSQ IDs.

Please note, that if you close a fund, the whole fund tree structure will be closed in our database.

If you close a single sub-fund, all share classes belonging to this sub-fund will be closed in our database.

(3) Creation of a new fund

To create a new fund, select a standard FDF extraction with the same fund structure (SICAV i.e..) and the same Law directive (P110 i.e..) as the new one you will have to create.

IMPORTANT: you must REMOVE all ID instruments from the cells in columns 45, 46 and 47 as they refer to a already existing instrument', and the risk is you replace the existing instrument.

(4) Creation of a new sub-fund

For example, if you want to add 3 sub-funds to an existing fund, you have to add 3 lines below the fund in the extraction template and complete the appropriate cells.

REMOVE Id Sub-Fund and Id Share-Class, but DO NOT CHANGE the Id Fund.

(5) Creation of a new share-classes

For example, if you want to add 5 share-classes to an existing sub-fund, you have to add 5 lines to the existing sub-fund structure in the extraction template. Complete all cells accordingly.

REMOVE Id Share-Class, but DO NOT CHANGE the Id Fund and Id Sub-Fund.

(6) Exception in column 28

In the case of share class creations, we would like to ask you, for internal processing reasons only, to delete all "Capitalisation" and "Distribution" words that appear in column 28.

How to complete the FDF

In due course, we will provide further information on this section.
