Data Adapter

Data Adapter 

The single biggest barrier firms face when implementing FundApps is not the platform itself. It is sourcing the right market data to power comprehensive compliance checks. For operations and data teams, that means analysing existing data, mapping it to our specification, and managing the technical demands of file construction. It is a process that takes time and resources most teams would rather spend elsewhere.

Data Adapter removes that burden. As a managed service operating alongside Shareholding Disclosure, Sensitive Industries, and Position Limits, it sources the market data required for each service directly from leading data providers and builds the structured file needed for the engine on your behalf. Your team provides a CSV of current positions. We handle everything else.

How Data Adapter works

Data Adapter takes a CSV file containing your current positions and uses it as the starting point for a fully enriched FundApps-ready file. From there, it requests the necessary market data from your chosen provider, either LSEG or Bloomberg, and enriches each position accordingly.

The completed XML file is then transmitted directly to the relevant FundApps service. Files are typically delivered via API, which is the most reliable and commonly used method, though we do also support an SFTP fetch if required.

By handling data sourcing, enrichment, and file construction in one managed process, Data Adapter reduces onboarding time by around 50% compared to clients building their own files, and opens up meaningful cost savings through more efficient access to index data and GICS codes.

Key features

Market data sourcing, handled 

Data Adapter connects directly to LSEG and Bloomberg to retrieve the market data required for Shareholding Disclosure, Sensitive Industries, and Position Limits.

Composite instrument enrichment

For ETFs and equity index derivatives, Data Adapter retrieves underlying component data and weightings automatically, ensuring complete and accurate position coverage.

GICS classification included

Every position is passed through a GICS lookup as part of the standard process, providing the industry classification data that powers Sensitive Industries monitoring without any additional setup.

Faster onboarding, lower cost

By removing the file-build burden from your team, Data Adapter cuts onboarding time significantly and provides a more cost-effective route to accessing index and classification data.

In a nutshell...

For firms implementing Shareholding Disclosure, Sensitive Industries, or Position Limits, Data Adapter removes the most common source of delay and complexity. Rather than building internal processes to source, clean, and structure market data to our specification, clients provide a simple CSV and Data Adapter takes care of the rest.

The result is faster time to compliance, reduced operational burden on data and operations teams, and confidence that every position is enriched with the data each FundApps service needs to run accurately.
