FAQ
How will transactions be coded?
All cash and 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. Dividends and distributions will be matched to account 23900 and 23800 respectively during upload using the ASX codes. Interest income will also be automatically coded to the linked 25000 interest account.
Can historical transactions prior to the feed activation be uploaded?
Yes. Historical transactions are requested upon feed activation for Simple Fund 360. Perform a transaction re-request to obtain historical data.
What if the feed is splitting transactions across several bank accounts?
The Netwealth system records transactions to CASH99 and MACASH separately. In reporting they consolidate MACASH and CASH99 as one cash pool for some reports, but not all.
An example of a report where we would show current balance of each separate account is the ‘Portfolio Valuation (new format)’ report. Our ‘Transaction Listing’ report will also provide a breakdown of MACASH and CASH99 transactions and mark the MACASH transactions as ‘Managed Account’ or ‘MA’.
Foreign share market transactions.
Simple Fund 360 will now support foreign investment data via the Netwealth data feed. For any Netwealth feeds that were setup before the 10/10/2019, Foreign Investment Data will be disabled to avoid any data duplication. To enable navigate to the Wraps and Platforms section and edit on the Netwealth Feed. To enable switch the toggle on for Import Foreign Investment Data.
Netwealth data feed has ceased operating?
Please contact your adviser and kindly ask that they review the BGL data feed integration on Netwealth’s Wealth Exchange page. Further information can be found here.
Current Known Issues
Why is the cash balance as at 30th June not matching Netwealth’s statement?
- This often happens when transactions occur on the 30th of June and these transactions take a day or two to clear.
- The 30th June cash balances received from Netweath only include transactions that have been cleared therefore causing a balance reconciliation issue with Netwealth statement.
Unfortunately, Netwealth is unable to resend updated balances as at 30th June.
Brokerage fee not capitalised to the asset purchase and sale
- Netwealth charges the brokerage fee on settlement date instead of the execution date,
BGL receives investment transactions when the trade occurs, therefore, resulting in the transaction amount being received without the brokerage fees. - On the settlement date, Netwealth provides an updated transaction which includes the brokerage fee. However, this transaction will not be automatically imported as the original transaction has previously been imported.
As a work-around, please delete the previously received transaction without the brokerage fees and then process a re-request. This will import the updated transactions with the correct amount (brokerage fees inclusive).
BGL is working closely with Netwealth to handle this scenario better.
