Breaks down data silos between different national markets.
Developer Friendly
Get up and running quickly with our comprehensive documentation and powerful validation tools. We provide everything developers need for a smooth and rapid implementation.
Extensive documentation with guides and examples.
Open-source libraries and tools on GitHub.
Community forum for support and collaboration.
Data Quality Assurance
Ensure the accuracy and consistency of your fund data with built-in validation and verification mechanisms. The schema includes rules and constraints that help prevent common errors and improve overall data integrity.
Strict data typing and format enforcement.
Official validation tools to check compliance.
Reduces reconciliation errors and improves data reliability.
Custom Data Fields
Extend the standard to fit your unique needs. FundsXML allows for the inclusion of user-defined fields, enabling you to embed proprietary data within the standard XML structure.
Utilize the `CustomDataFields` node for custom data points.
Maintain validation against the core schema while adding your own information.
Perfect for internal workflows or specific bilateral data agreements.
Digital Signature (XMLSig)
Ensure the authenticity and integrity of your data. FundsXML files can be digitally signed using the W3C XML Signature standard (XMLSig), providing a secure and verifiable data exchange.
Guarantees that the data has not been altered in transit.
Verifies the identity of the sender.
Provides legal non-repudiation.
Based on the open W3C standard for maximum interoperability.
Comprehensive Portfolio Reporting
Model detailed portfolio holdings at any point in time. Include breakdowns by asset class, country, currency, or sector, providing a complete picture of a fund’s composition.
Strict data typing and format enforcement.
Official validation tools to check compliance.
Reduces reconciliation errors and improves data reliability.
Flexible Transaction Reporting
Standardize the reporting of all fund-related transactions. The schema supports a wide range of activities, from simple subscriptions and redemptions to complex corporate actions.
Covers subscriptions, redemptions, switches, and dividend payments.
Includes fields for trade dates, settlement dates, prices, and fees.
Improves STP rates for order processing.
Data Depth & Integrity
Unparalleled Data Coverage and Quality

Why XML with XSD is Superior to CSV
While CSV is simple, it lacks the structure and validation needed for complex financial data, leading to quality issues and integration challenges.
Strict Validation:
XSD schemas enforce data types and rules at the source, preventing errors common in CSV files.
Self-Describing:
XML tags provide context, making data human-readable and machine-understandable without external documentation.
Interoperability:
A standardized, validated schema ensures that data from one system can be seamlessly interpreted by another, eliminating ambiguity.
