FA Fund Management 1.15 - Release notes
Released: March 2024
FA Fund Management 1.15 enables you to start a fund with trade orders, to manage fund groups, and provides other improvements for better usability.
Initial trade order execution for a new fund
Why?
It is common for fund companies to gather initial investments as trade orders from investors. So far, in FA Fund Management initial investments have been added as transactions in client portfolios, and deposit to the fund has been made manually. Now, FA supports both ways of entering initial investments – you can start a fund with transactions or with trade orders.
Who is this for?
This feature is for back- or middle-office users of FA Fund Management.
Details
Initial investments are added as trade orders into the new fund, in a similar way as subscriptions in the later phase when the fund is active.
On the inception date when a new share class starts, a back-office user can start the fund in FA Fund management. As a result, the system executes the trade orders, with the initial price set in share class settings. The system also adds initial investment sum to the fund portfolio and creates technical zero-amount fee transactions based on fund and share class fee settings.
After this, the fund and the share class are ready for use. The fund manager can start investing, and new subscriptions for a fund can be done.

Managing fund groups
Why?
We want to develop FA Fund management as an independent application that can be used without FA Back on the side.
Who is this for?
This feature is for all FA Fund Management users. It can be used to manage the order of the NAV calculation. For example, if a fund manager has fund of funds and wants to calculate NAV in phases.
Details
All fund groups can be viewed in FA Fund Management, and static fund groups can be edited and deleted as well. You can change name and choose which funds belong to a group. You can also check to which groups the fund belongs.
To manage the NAV calculation order, include your funds in different groups. Select the fund group in the NAV status view, and filter funds that are pending calculation. Once you selected the funds, you can mass-calculate NAV for them. When the calculation is done and NAV is accepted, you can calculate NAV for the next group.

More informative NAV report file name
Why?
It was hard to identify which stage of the NAV calculation process the NAV report comes from. Now, this information is included in the file name.
Who is this for?
This feature is for fund companies that use FA Fund management for NAV calculation.
Details
You can now tell by the file name at which stage the NAV report was created. This is useful for example if you want to check NAV reports in the Overview in FA Back.
An example file name for a report when NAV is calculated: NAV_XXXXXXX_20240121_20231027073136_NAV_calculated.xlsx. Other suffixes are:
NAV_accepted
Fees_calculated
Fees_accepted
Unoff_calculated
