Manage Sector/Fund Information

Sectors represent investment strategies of the master fund entity and are usually run by different managers in an attempt to mitigate risk across the fund. In the Sector Fund Setup panel, you can add one or more sectors to a master fund entity. You must trigger a sector allocation if you manually add, change, and delete sector information. You can trigger the sector allocation using the Trigger Allocation - Sector panel.

The Sector Type is a locked field that identifies the type of sector row currently selected in the lower pane.

    To modify information for the master fund entity, modify the desired fields in the upper pane.

You can modify the sector information fields in the upper or lower pane. However, if you need to add a new sector for the master fund entity, use the Sector Fund Setup panel.
    When you modify mutual fund information, certain fields are locked because you cannot change those fields after you set up a mutual fund type entity; additional fields are locked if the entity has holdings. Examples of such fields include Primary Accounting Basis, Cost Method, Cost Method Cash, Account Base Currency, Accounting Period Frequency, and Secondary Accounting Basis. Also note that you cannot change the dates that affect the entity's accounting periods. The Entity Status field is locked. However, you can use the Change Entity Active Status panel to change the status.
