The <strong>Consolidated Input Template (CIT)</strong> is the standard spreadsheet used to feed data into the register, ensuring consistency, traceability and regulatory compliance across all funds.</p> <p>Regulators, auditors and senior management rely on the FDR to obtain a single source of truth for fundlevel data. By consolidating input from multiple business units into one template, organisations reduce duplication, minimise errors and streamline reporting processes.</p> </section> <section id="purpose"> <h2>Purpose of the Consolidated Input Template</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Uniform Data Capture:</strong> Provides a single format for all funds, regardless of asset class, jurisdiction or strategy.</li> <li><strong>Regulatory Alignment:</strong> Aligns data collection with the requirements of directives such as UCITS, AIFMD, and local securities legislation.</li> <li><strong>Facilitates Consolidation:</strong> Allows the finance team to rollup information into grouplevel financial statements and performance dashboards.</li> <li><strong>Audit Trail:</strong> Embeds version control and changelog fields, supporting internal and external audit checks.</li> <li><strong>Operational Efficiency:</strong> Reduces manual reentry by linking directly to downstream systems (risk, compliance, portfolio management).</li> </ul> </section> <section id="structure"> <h2>Template Structure</h2> <p>The CIT is divided into logical tabs that mirror the lifecycle of a fund:</p> <h3>1. Fund Summary</h3> <p>Basic identifiers, launch date, domicile, legal entity and investment mandate.</p> <h3>2. Asset Allocation</h3> <p>Target and actual allocation percentages across asset classes, regions and sectors.</p> <h3>3. Pricing & Valuation</h3> <p>Key pricing sources, valuation frequency, NAV calculation methodology.</p> <h3>4. Fees & Expenses</h3> <p>Management fees, performance fees, transaction costs and other operating expenses.</p> <h3>5. Regulatory Data</h3> <p>Registration numbers, reporting frequencies, specific regulatory limits.</p> <h3>6. Governance</h3> <p>Fund manager, investment committee members, custodians, auditors.</p> <h3>7. Change Log</h3> <p>Record of edits, user ID, timestamp and justification for each change.</p> <div class="note"> <strong>Tip:</strong> Do not delete any column headers. If a field is not applicable, leave the cell blank or enter N/A. Deleting columns will break the automated data import routine. </div> </section> <section id="key-fields"> <h2>Key Fields Explained</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Tab</th> <th>Field</th> <th>Description</th> <th>Format / Example</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Fund Summary</td> <td>Fund_ID</td> <td>Unique alphanumeric identifier assigned by the Fund Operations team.</td> <td>FD-2023001</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fund Summary</td> <td>Domicile</td> <td>Country where the fund is legally established.</td> <td>Luxembourg</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Asset Allocation</td> <td>Target_Equity_%</td> <td>Target percentage of assets allocated to equities.</td> <td>55.0</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pricing & Valuation</td> <td>Nav_Calculation_Method</td> <td>Method used to calculate net asset value (e.g., Fullvaluation, Prorata).</td> <td>Fullvaluation</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fees & Expenses</td> <td>Management_Fee_Bps</td> <td>Annual management fee expressed in basis points.</td> <td>150</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Regulatory Data</td> <td>UCITS_Registration_No</td> <td>Registration number issued by the relevant regulator for UCITS funds.</td> <td>LU12345678</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Governance</td> <td>Fund_Manager</td> <td>Name of the entity responsible for daytoday investment decisions.</td> <td>Alpha Capital Management Ltd.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Change Log</td> <td>Edited_By</td> <td>Username of the person who made the modification.</td> <td>j.smith</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>All numeric fields must be supplied without commas and with a dot as the decimal separator. Dates follow the ISO format <code>YYYYMMDD</code>.</p> </section> <section id="usage"> <h2>How to Use the Consolidated Input Template</h2> <h3>Step 1 Download the Latest Version</h3> <p>The template is stored in the shared drive under <code>\\FundOps\Templates\FDR_CIT_Vx.x.xlsx</code>. Always use the most recent version to avoid compatibility issues.</p> <h3>Step 2 Populate the Fund Summary Tab</h3> <p>Enter the fundamental data first. This information is referenced by all other tabs, so doublecheck the Fund_ID and Domicile values.</p> <h3>Step 3 Complete the Asset Allocation Tab</h3> <p>Enter both the target and current allocation percentages. The sum of each row must equal 100% (allow a tolerance of 0.1%). Use the builtin validation messages to spot rounding errors.</p> <h3>Step 4 Add Pricing & Valuation Details</h3> <p>Specify the pricing source (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters) and the NAV calculation method. If the fund uses a hybrid pricing model, provide a brief note in the <code>Comments</code> column.</p> <h3>Step 5 Record Fees and Expenses</h3> <p>All fees are expressed in basis points (bps). Where a fee is tiered, list the maximum applicable rate in the main column and describe the tiering in the adjacent <code>Notes</code> field.</p> <h3>Step 6 Fill the Regulatory Data Tab</h3> <p>Enter every registration number and reporting frequency. If a fund is exempt from a specific regulation, indicate Exempt and provide the legal reference.</p> <h3>Step 7 Update Governance Information</h3> <p>List the current fund manager, investment committee members, custodian and external auditor. Update this tab whenever a change occurs; the change log will capture the modification automatically.</p> <h3>Step 8 Save and Upload</h3> <p>Save the file using the naming convention <code>FDR_<Fund_ID>_YYYYMMDD.xlsx</code>. Upload it to the central repository at <code>\\FundOps\Registrations\<Fund_ID></code>. An automated workflow will validate the file and import the data into the master register.</p> <div class="example"> Example file name: <br> <code>FDR_FD-2023-001_20240630.xlsx</code> </div> </section> <section id="common-issues"> <h2>Common Issues and How to Resolve Them</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Missing Mandatory Fields:</strong> The validation macro highlights empty mandatory cells in red. Fill them before saving.</li> <li><strong>Incorrect Date Format:</strong> Dates entered as <code>DD/MM/YYYY</code> cause import failures. Convert to <code>YYYYMMDD</code>.</li> <li><strong>Allocation Totals 100%:</strong> Use the <code>=SUM()</code> formula to check each row; adjust rounding as needed.</li> <li><strong>Duplicate Fund_ID:</strong> Run the Check Duplicates macro; if a duplicate exists, coordinate with the Register Owner to assign a new ID.</li> <li><strong>Version Mismatch:</strong> Older templates lack new columns (e.g., ESG_Score). Always download the latest master copy.</li> </ul> <p>If an issue persists after following the steps above, raise a ticket with the Fund Data Support team (email: <a href="mailto:funddata.support@company.com">funddata.support@company.com</a>) and attach the problematic file.</p> </section> <section id="best-practices"> <h2>Best Practices</h2> <ol> <li>Complete the template in a single session to avoid version conflicts.</li> <li>Use dropdown lists provided in the sheet they enforce consistent coding (e.g., currency codes, fund types).</li> <li>Document any assumptions or manual overrides in the <code>Comments</code> column.</li> <li>Perform a final review with a peer before uploading; a fresh set of eyes often catches data entry slips.</li> <li>Archive the submitted file in the Historical subfolder for audit purposes.</li> </ol> </section></main>```
