Ignore Same Day Cap Stock Settlements

680

Determines whether the system includes same day capital stock settlements in the cash flow calculation. This scenario occurs when you book and settle cap stock on the same day. Options include:

  • Yes. The system does not include, or ignores, same day cap stock settlements in the cash flow calculation. If you book and settle cap stock on the same day, the system leaves the settled cash amount out of the cash buffer until the next day, and does not double count the capital stock. The system continues to include the cap stock amount in the current day's total cap stock and adjusted NAV. .
  • No. Default. The system includes same day cap stock settlements in the cash flow calculation. If you book and settle cap stock on the same day, the system includes both the capital stock and the capital stock settlement in the gross cash flow, double counting the capital stock. As a result, a NAV calculation error can occur.
