About Insurance Overlays

When you create Insurance overlays, review the following general information. 

About Schedule Assignment Overrides

Schedule line assignment overrides are allowed for Clients by security for Schedules BA1, D1, D21, D22, DA1, DBA1, DBB1, E1 and E2. If a security is overlaid onto an investment schedule, in addition to the position being assigned to that schedule during the Refresh Process, all activity related to the security is assigned to the corresponding activity schedule. For example, if a security is overlaid onto the DA1, buys for that security would be assigned to the DA3 and sells would be assigned to the DA4.

Because the disk line assignment for securities that appear on the Schedule DBA1 and DBB1 are based on the Derivative Election assigned at acquisition, if a security is overlaid onto either of these schedules, in addition to the Schedule assignment, the Disk Line must also be assigned as part of the overlay.

Bypassing Schedule or Disk Line Assignment processing should only be done in the first-month of acquisition, or in the first-year if all ISTAR month ends are rerun. If you bypass processing in a year subsequent to acquisition, you may create significant errors in Schedule results.

About Summary Investment Schedule/AM Best Overrides

In the Create Insurance Overlay panel, you can assign any valid Summary Investment Schedule (SIS) and/or AM Best Line Number to a security at the Client level. By providing an overlay, you can effectively manage the placement of the security on the Summary Investment Schedule or AM Best SRQ – Question 17 when an assignment other than the one determined by ISTAR is required.

When an overlay is assigned, the line number is populated on all of the asset's Lot Valuation rows and subsequently used in the SIS Summary Table Build and AM Best assignment for the Client. This overlay takes precedence over the line number assignment determined by ISTAR.
