Before you use the system to calculate Weighted Average Life and Weighted Average Maturity values for master funds, review the options you can select at the master fund level and their impact.

However, while you do not need to set up the master fund-level WAM Election and WAL Election settings for a Money Market type master fund and calculate WAM and WAL, this does not apply to master funds that are not money market funds. You must specify the master fund entity elections of Wam Election and Wal election for mutual fund portfolio composite types to enable the system to calculate the WAM and WAL. If the Calculate NAV events determine that the master fund is not a money market portfolio, and if you do not specify the WAM/WAL elections for the master fund, then the system cannot calculate the Weighted Average Maturity and Weighted Average Life values. The system does not use the default hardcoded values associated with a null value for mutual fund portfolio composite types.
WRITERS NOTE: does this logic apply to any master fund that does not have a Money Market type, or does it apply only to master funds that have a Mutual Fund type? That is, does the product support WAM/WAL calculation during NAV calculation for any master fund or only for money market and mutual fund type master funds?
