19

Performance Composite Inclusion/Exclusion logic - Monthly Mode (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled). In GIPS Composite Management, used for the Composite Approval module, which displays the results from executing the Performance Composite Builder. Allows you to customize the composite inclusion/exclusion date logic for Performance composites. Options include:

• 0 for Default Mode sets all constituent Start/Stop dates to the actual Effective Date that they are approved in ENTITY_RANGE_DETAILS for the composite.

• 1 for Monthly Mode sets all constituent Start/Stop Dates in ENTITY_RANGE_DETAILS to the first day of the month for the composite. In this mode, Approved changes during any day during the month are automatically pushed back to the first day of the current month. As a result, the Start Date and Stop Dates are always the first of the month for all membership changes. This ensures that constituents are entered and removed from a composite for the full month.
  For more information, see GIPS Composite Management Configuration.

20

• U (Unchecked). The Process Across Change check box is cleared, displaying no check mark.

• C (Checked). The Process Across Change check box is selected, displaying a check mark.
  For more information, see  Benchmark Management.

27

Multicurrency Composite Build Processing (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled). Determines if the Performance Composite Builder initiates on-the-fly currency conversion. Applies only when the portfolio inclusion criteria use Performance or Holdings fields and the composite and constituent portfolios do not share a common base currency. If set to:

• 0 (Disabled) indicates that on-the-fly currency conversion does not occur under these conditions.

• 1 (Enabled) indicates that on-the-fly currency conversion does occur under these conditions.
  
  The default value is 0.
  For more information, see GIPS Composite Management Configuration.

28

Maximum number of entities in performance data fetch. Specifies the maximum number of entities to include in each query used in the report's performance data fetch, used in the:

• Performance Analysis report

• Performance Calculation report

• Composite Analysis report

• Composite Weighted Returns report

• Performance Composite Builder
  
  If the performance data fetch identifies more than N entities in a report query, it splits up the query into an additional set of queries for that report. If the report includes benchmark relative fields, this setting applies only to the number of portfolios — the query can include this number of portfolios plus any related benchmark entities.
  This parameter can prevent a complex report from using a single very large, and time consuming, query to generate results. The data fetch uses several smaller queries instead, resulting in faster overall reporting time. This option promotes more predictable query execution for large reports, such as those run as part of Data Mart builds or when you run the Performance Analysis report on an ad hoc basis.
  The default value is 100.
  For more information, see Performance Analysis and Reporting.

29

Truncate Pivot Point Duration in Days to integer (0 = Do not truncate, 1 = truncate). In Global Attribution analysis, used to remove a rounding inaccuracy in calculating the Fixed Income Attribution Pivot Point's yield change. If set to:

• 0. (Default) Maintains the full float precision to remove an unnecessary source of reduced precision noise in the calculations of the yields used to calculate the yield change. Provides greater accuracy.

• 1. Truncates the duration input value used to look up the yield from the yield curve to a full day integer value. This option provides backwards compatibility.
  For more information, see Performance Attribution

30

Use FIA Pre Version 11 Calculations (Y = Yes, N = No). In Global Attribution analysis, determines whether Fixed Income Attribution (FIA) analysis uses Begin of Period analytical values or End of Period analytical values. Options include:

• Y (Yes). Uses End of Period effective duration (standard or option adjusted) as part of FIA analysis formulas. Provides backwards compatibility with versions prior to V11.0.

• N (No). (Default) Uses Begin of Period effective duration (standard or option adjusted) as part of FIA analysis formulas. Provides more standard begin period analytics.
  For more information about how this setting affects specific formulas, see Performance Attribution

31

Rescale ABAL and weights for blended and floating custom benchmarks (Y = Yes, N = No). For custom benchmarks, allows the use of Average Invested Balances (ABALs) that do not add up to 100%. Set to Y to allow the use of ABALs that do not add up to 100% for Blended benchmarks, Floating benchmarks, and Floating active weight benchmarks. Otherwise, set the option to No for backward compatibility. The default value is Y.
For more information, see Benchmark Management.

32

Use the FX spot rate as of inception date for monthly frequency ITD currency conversions (Y = Yes, N = No). Determines how the system performs currency conversion for fields with inception to date (ITD) Date Rules for the fund's first month since inception, as follows:

• Y (Yes). (Default) Inception to date (ITD) Date Rule currency conversion uses the FX rate as of the entity's inception date. If the entity has an inception date that occurs mid month, allows you to capture the currency impact only for part of that month.

• N (No). Inception to date (ITD) Date Rule currency conversion uses the FX rate as of the month end before the entity's inception date. If the entity has an inception date that occurs mid month, allows you to capture the currency impact for the entire month.
  
  This option affects Performance Link Analysis (PLA) fields used in Performance Analysis reports, as well as Composite Performance Analysis (CPA) fields used in Composite Analysis reports. It does not affect calculations for Daily frequency. For more information, see Performance Analysis and Reporting and GIPS Composite Management.
  Note: For PLA fields, this option affects those fields where under Period Options, you select the I would like to link the returns using the Date Rule option, and then choose a Date Rule associated with the inception date. It does not affect those PLA fields where you select the I want to calculate option, and choose a corresponding inception date field to calculate To date returns.

33

MFP SRRI Weekly Crossover Condition Methodology. Use 0 (use fund as of BEGIN DATE) or 1 (use actual dates). Used in Retail Fund Performance if you calculate the fund's volatility based on weekly historical returns in order to determine the fund's synthetic risk reward indicator (SRRI). Determines how the system links data to backfill history of weekly returns, as follows:

• 0 (use fund as of BEGIN DATE). (Default) Uses a linking process to calculate a weekly return with a single representative fund for any given week.

• 1 (use actual dates). Uses a linking process to calculate a weekly return that can use more than one representative fund in a given week, and can calculate a weekly return using as combination of NAVs and returns.
  For more information, see Retail Fund Performance.

35

CIDX Currency Conversion Type Processing - Use 0 (Convert all return fields and no weight fields) or 1 (Convert all field types based on their defined currency process).  During the Custom Index build you can choose currency conversion for all build fields or for only the return type fields.

36

Composite (COMP) Enumeration Process in Composite Weighted Returns and Performance Calculation - Use  0 (Begin date) or 1 (End date).  This determines the "as of" date for the Reporting Composite (COMP) enumeration.  Membership can be determined using the report Begin date or report End date from the Composite Weighted Return report or the Performance Calculation report

37

Performance Composite ENTITY_RANGE_DETAILS_JOURNAL Updates (0 = Update, 1 = Do not update).  When choosing 1 the ENTITY_RANGE_DETAILS_JOURNAL table will not be updated with membership updates.  Reducing the number of records in this table decreases processing times in the entity's Composite tab.

38

MFP Synthetic Returns Prior to Child Inception Date Methodology - Use 0 (Use only child NAVs) or 1 (Use parent NAVs)

39

Rejection Table Update for Data Quality Monitor (0 - Disable, 1- Enable).  Selecting 1 enables the Data Quality Monitor to update the Control Center rejection table with all exceptions from the Data Quality Monitor.  This could have an impact on processing times when enabled.

40

Performance Composite (ACOM) Enumeration Process in Composite Weighted Returns and Performance Calculation - Use  0 (Begin date) or 1 (End date).  This determines the "as of" date for the Performance Composite (ACOM) enumeration.  Membership can be determined using the report Begin date or report End date from the Composite Weighted Return report or the Performance Calculation report

41

Enable storing Pass records in Data Quality Monitor (1 = Do not store Pass records, 0 = Store Pass records).  By choosing 1 DQM validations resulting in a "Pass" will not be stored.  Only exceptions (Fail or Warning) will be stored in the database.  This can keep down database usage and processing times.  Pass results will also not be displayed in the DQM heatmap.

43

Calculate Attribution RollupDaily Single Level.  This is for Single Level style attribution. Each effect is rolled up for each single period before effects are linked across time.

45

Prevent Commit of Custom Status Returns
When set to Y Performance Return records with a status (STATUS_FLAG column) from the iPerfStatus code list will not be overwritten by the Performance Calculation.  The will be treated as Final status and the commit process will fail.  When set to N Custom Statuses are treated as Preliminary Status.  These Performance records can then be overwritten with a new return record from the Performance Calculation.
