In the Asset Mix Policy and Fee Schedule workspace, you can create asset mix policy and fee schedule for entities.

Asset Mix Policy

Asset Mix Policies are primarily used to create an asset mix that is applied to an entity. When a report is run for an entity, in the report viewer you can see the differences between the target asset mix and the actual asset mix.

The first step in creating an asset mix policy is to assign rates to the values that you desire, for example, 40 percent Domestic Equities, 30 percent Domestic Fixed Income Securities, and 30 percent Domestic Short‐Term Securities. Next, inference fields are built to compare your target percentages (40 percent, 30 percent, and 30 percent) to your actual percentages when the report is run.

Users can assign the asset mix policy to entities. The management of asset mix policies is done via the Asset Mix Policy dialog.

Fee Schedule

PDC allows the user to add fee schedule as an attribute to the entity. Calculation of fee returns falls into two basic categories: fee rates and fee amounts.  The fee rates are simply subtracted from the gross return while the fee amounts are simply added into the numerator of the basic return calculation (assuming the fee is a negative number). Each of these simple methods assumes that the fee is already calculated as a fee rate and loaded into the data warehouse as an entity attribute.

The Fee Schedule link allows you to add, edit, delete and assign a fee schedule to a portfolio or a Composite entity.
