Regulatory pricing - Price valuation

Switch to the "Price valuation" tab to access this process.

In this area, you can identify, assign and validate prices for outliers.

The outliers are listed on the left-hand side. For each instrument, the name, security type (asset category), ISIN and, on the right-hand side, a short variant of the result or error type are displayed. The list is sorted by ISIN.

The icons that may be visible in front of the entries show status information of processes that have already taken place.


Example: Outlier with first validation

You can filter the list individually by using the filter elements above the list of results.

Select the relevant outlier to display its data in the analysis area.

In the "Price valuation" process, supplied client data is displayed in the instrument area at the top. This helps identify a sent instrument in case of errors of the category "Inactive", "Unknown", and so on.

Status area

In this widget, the outlier result types are displayed. More than one entry is possible.

Example

The errors that have occurred are symbolised by different letters. These can be found in the list of trading venues below in the "Occurred errors" column (or "Occur. errors.") so that you can easily assign the entries.

Point to the respective result type in the status area to display the exact error code and additional information in a tooltip. You can filter the list according to the error codes. To do this, enter the corresponding code (such as "CHECK_FAILED_AGE" or "MISSING_DATA_CURRENCY") in the free text filter.

Validation area

On the left-hand side, below the instrument area, you see the validation area. Here you validate and comment on the price valuation for the selected instrument.

In the validation area, you find the following elements:

ElementDescription
Date

Use the integrated calendar to select the processing date.

The default setting is the reporting date.

If the data was set via the "Pick" button from the trading place list, manual overwriting is not possible.

Valid to

Use the integrated calendar to select the validity date of the price.

The price may be valid only for the current price valuation date or until the date in the future specified here. After a selection, it is still possible to change the date in the "Valid to" field.

Trade price

Enter the relevant trading price into the input field. The corresponding currency is displayed at the right edge of the input field.

It is also possible to enter "0" here.

You can use the "Pick" button in the "Trading venues" list to show a value as an alternative to manual entry.

If the data was set via the "Pick" button from the trading place list, manual overwriting is not possible.

Price type

Select the appropriate price type here for manually entered prices:

If the data was set via the "Pick" button from the trading venue list, then no selection is possible here.

Alternative trading venue

Here, you have the option to manually enter a trading venue for the security, for example, based on external research, in addition to the data in the list of trading venues.

If the data was set via the "Pick" button from the trading place list, then no manually entry is possible here.

Alternative trading venue code

Here, you have the option to manually enter a trading venue for the security, for example, based on external research, in addition to the data in the list of trading venue code.

If the data was set via the "Pick" button from the trading place list, then no manually entry is possible here.

Comment

Always enter a comment for your action in this input field.

The title of the input field varies with the currently selected data - in the "First comment" example.

If you have selected an entry from the list of trading venues via the "Pick" button, a comment in the form "Pick + 'trading venue'" (for example, "Pick Madrid" or "Pick Chicago") is automatically inserted here for information for validation, which can of course be edited.

"Reset" button

Click this button to reset your entries in the data fields on the left side of the validation area.

The "Reset" button is enabled only if the data was loaded from the list of trading venues via the "Pick" button.

When the entries were reset, then the "Date" input field will continue to show the report date and the "Valid to" input field will again show today's date.

"Save & continue" button

Click this button to complete the respective work step (for example, the initial validation of the entry) in the process. The data is then reloaded from the backend.

This button is enabled only if a comment was also entered.

"Contact" icon

Click this icon to contact us. In the menu that pops up, you can then distinguish between the following requests:

  • Contact Infront Quant
    If you have any questions about price valuation, select this entry to send an e-mail request to Infront Quant with the entered comment and instrument data.
  • Contact CS
    For general questions and problems, select this entry to send a request to Customer Service by e-mail.

You can recognise missing data or entries by the colour highlighting of the fields:

List of trading venues

At the bottom of the "Price valuation" area, you see the list of available trading venues for the selected outlier. By default, the trading venue list shows the following columns in detail:

ColumnDescription

[Selection buttons]

Click this button to select this row or trading venue and to pre-screen the associated price as the trading rate as well as the date information in the validation area. A comment with the pattern "Pick + 'trading place'" (for example, "Pick Madrid" or "Pick Chicago") is automatically inserted in the comment field to provide information for validation. This data can be overwritten in the validation area.

If the button is disabled, this entry cannot be selected, for example, error "922" (no rate in request currency available). Entries without a valuation rate cannot be selected either.

If the list does not contain any trading venue in the requested currency, then a corresponding note will be displayed above the list.
