Registry Data Service

For common support queries refer to Registry Data Service Troubleshooting.

Overview

Simple Fund 360 now integrates with Share Registries to automatically receive Holding data based on the Fund's HIN or SRN. The Balance Review screen can be used to confirm unit balances with each of the supported Registries on a quarterly basis. This service will support unlimited HINs or SRNs per fund.

The initial request will retrieve the last four quarter holding balances into the Balance Review screen automatically. Beyond the initial request, Simple Fund 360 will automatically request holding balances from the registry provider on a quarterly basis. The user will only need to access the Balance Review screen.

To use the service please complete the following steps:

  2. Review the consent: This screen is used to setup a Registry Data Feed with each Australian Share Registry. By disclosing their SRN or HIN and Postcode to the BGL User setting up this service, the Investor (SMSF Trustee) is deemed to have given their consent to the Registries sharing data with the BGL user via this service. BGL will retrieve the Investor's holding and payment data from each Registry on a quarterly basis.

  3. Input the Postcode and HINs/SRNs for the investor. Select the option Apply to All if the HIN/SRN applies to all investments. Note: The postcode will pre-fill from the Postal Address of the fund in Fund Details. This can be edited on screen.

    Boardroom HINs

    Please note the on some Boardroom statements, there will be no letter preceding the HIN number. Simple Fund 360 still requires the letter, please ensure that the HIN digits visible on your Boardroom statement are entered in Simple Fund 360 prefixed with the letter "X".

    Ensure the capital letter, such as X, I or C is in capitals. You will receive an error if recorded in lowercase.

     

    Alternatively, add the postcode and HIN/SRN to investments individually.

Balance Review

Important

The holding balance in Simple Fund 360 may differ from the third-party source if the year-end workflow has not been fully completed (if all Corporate Actions, buys, sells and Dividend Reinvestments have not been recorded in Simple Fund 360).

 

 

From the Main Toolbar, select Investments. mceclip2.png
Select Balance Review.

 

The Balance Review screen will display:

  • Investment Code
  • Investment Name
  • Holding Reference (HIN/SRN obtained from the third party registry)
  • Third-Party Data (Data Feed Provider, Balance Date and Balance Amount)
  • SF360 Ledger Data (Balance Amount)
  • Variance

The initial setup of the registry service will obtain the last four quarters of registry holding balances to be viewed. Beyond the initial request, Simple Fund 360 will automatically request holding balances from the registry provider on a quarterly basis. The user will only need to access the Balance Review screen.

  3. I am a Simple Fund Desktop User. Does my fund's registry subscription migrate over to Simple Fund 360 when the fund is migrated?

    The Simple Fund Desktop registry service does not migrate over to Simple Fund 360. These two services are different. In order to use the service in Simple Fund 360 subscribe to The Share Data Pack.

  4. Will the removal of HIN/SRN and/or postcodes stop the connection between Simple Fund 360 and the Registry provider?

  5. Will the changing of a postcode in the Postal Address section of Fund Details update the postcode used in the registry settings?
