Overview
BGL has integrated with CommSec, providing users with a daily data feed.
The following information is imported through the data feed:
- Investment movements (purchases and disposals)
There is no charge for this service, however, authority needs to be granted to activate this feed in Simple Fund 360. Once authority is granted, activation can take up to five to ten business days for data to be uploaded into Simple Fund 360.
What Historical Data is available?
CommSec will import historical balances (found via the Balance Review screen). Full transaction history will not be available.

Feed Activation & Import
Once the feed has been saved, the feed will appear with the status Awaiting Transactions, with the toggle set to On. Do not switch this off.
Simple Fund 360 will automatically load transactions from the date of activation. Activation can take up to five to ten business days for data to be uploaded into Simple Fund 360. Once activated, the feed will appear with the status Feed Operating.
The following data is imported through the feed:
- Investment movements (purchases and disposals)
Note: Cash transactions are not imported through the CommSec feed. A separate source such as the BGL Bank Data Service can be used to import the bank data.
How will transactions be coded?
All investment transactions will be allocated to the correct account in Simple Fund 360. For purchases of new investments not previously held by the fund, new accounts will be created, and transactions will be automatically allocated.
Which transactions will be matched?
Investment transactions (purchases and disposals) will be automatically matched to their corresponding cash transactions by Simple Fund 360 if those cash transactions are loaded through a bank feed such as the BGL Bank Data Service
Re-Request
The re-request function can only be used to import transactions from the date the CommSec feed began operating for the fund.
1. From within the Wraps and Platforms Global tab, select the fund(s) to complete the re-request for.
2. Select the Re-request transactions button that has appeared at the top of the screen.
3. From the Re-Request Transactions screen, input the dates Do Not Load Before (earliest import date) and Do Not Load After (last import date). Transactions within this date range will be requested and imported from CommSec.
