The Actual fund of funds allocation method. REBALANCE_ASSET_CLASS. The Rebalance Asset Class fund of funds allocation method. REBALANCE_OVER_UNDER.

Capital Stock Election	680	Determines whether the system includes or excludes capital stock activity and capital stock settlements in the calculation of the fund of funds cash flow. For funds that elect to process and to settle cap stock transactions on the same day, there is a risk of double counting cap stock cash. This is only an issue for funds that auto settle cap stock on the same day. Generally cap stock does not settle on the same day it is booked. Options include: Include Net Capital Stock Activity and Cash Settlements. Default. Includes both capital stock activity (subs and reds) and same day capital stock settlements in the calculation of fund of funds cash flow. The system includes same day cap stock settlements in the cash flow calculation Exclude Net Capital Stock Activity and Cash Settlements. Excludes both capital stock activity and same day capital stock settlements in the calculation of fund of funds cash flow. Exclude Net Capital Stock Activity Only. Excludes current day capital stock activity from the fund of funds cash flow. Exclude Cash Settlements Only. Excludes same day capital stock settlements from the fund of funds cash flow. 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.
Capital Stock Reinvestment Election	1017	Determines whether the system includes or excludes capital stock reinvestment activity and settlements in the calculation of the fund of funds cash balance and cash flow.

NAV Price	1018	Determines whether the system creates resulting fund of funds trades using the prior or current day security price. Options include: Current. Uses the current day security price to create fund of funds trades. If security prices are missing, the system uses the trade price. The system creates pending trades when you submit the Run Fund of Funds Pending Trades panel after you process fund of funds allocations. Prior. Default. Uses the prior day security price to create fund of funds trades. You can use this option only if the allocation rule uses the Security Level Target with Rebalance allocation method. The system creates pending trades when you submit the Post Fund of Funds Allocation panel to process fund of funds allocations.
Cash Upper Bound	11525	Specifies the cash upper bound for the rule. The rule's cash bounds determine the final cash flow used to allocate down to the underlying funds. You must specify a cash upper bound that is greater than the cash lower bound. The value has a decimal format. For example, .10 for ten percent.
Cash Lower Bound	11526	Specifies the cash lower bound for the rule. The rule's cash bounds determine the final cash flow used to allocate down to the underlying funds. The value has a decimal format. For example, .05 for five percent.
