Change Indices

Some fields are locked when there is an existing position on the security. This is because a change would impact the existing position. These fields include Asset Currency, Investment Type, Processing Security Type, Quantity Type, Price Multiplier, and Quantity Scale. Other fields are locked so they cannot be changed. See the About Locked Security Master Record Fields in Issue Viewer page for more information.

  • Semi-annual 30/360 to Monthly 30/360 (6M30360IM30360). For use with assets such as Canadian MBS.
