- Investment movements (purchases and disposals)
- Income transactions (dividends, distributions and bank interest)
- Bank transactions
- Foreign holdings and foreign currency data is also imported via the PPM feed
Reconciling to PPM Reports:
- The PPM Annual Report includes cash transactions based on the financial year of their Accrual Date. The PPM Annual Report's Cash Ledger also provides the Settlement Date for each cash transaction.
- The feed will import cash transactions based on the Settlement Date, and the 30 June balance can then be reconciled using the Adjusted Accrual Balance given at the bottom of the Cash Ledger (this is where the PPM Annual Report adjusts for cash transactions that are displayed, but not yet settled).-
- The PPM Annual Report will sometimes include income based on settlement date.
The feed will import dividend income based on the settlement date, and distribution income based on accrual date for tax purposes.
Please be mindful of this when reconciling.
Authority:
- Assuming the authority form is correctly filled out and signed, it should take 1-2 business days for the feed to be activated by PPM.
