IHS Markit is pleased to announce the v19.1.0.64 release of our Enterprise Data Management Warehouse (EDM Warehouse) software which is now generally available.
The highlights of this release are:
New Inquiry Templates
The following new features and enhancements are available in EDM Warehouse from this release:
- Position Look Through Summary: Allows users to find segment exposures for fund of funds/manager of managers using look through data. The template presents data in a tree list grid and tree map chart. Standard features are PDF & Excel download, ability to edit and drill down, as well as disclosure integration. The standard inquiry number is 3210.
- Position Look Through Detail: Redesigned fund or position look through for funds that hold other funds, providing complete analytical and exposure reporting to the lowest level. The legacy template for Fund Look Through is no longer operable. The standard inquiry number is 3200.
- Comparative Period Analysis - Period: Allows users to select time periods for display. For example, compare only month end data for the past 4 months. Time periods display in vertical format. The standard inquiry number is 2799.
- Multi Period Position List: New inquiry based on existing Position List. Users can select a period or date range in conjunction with a date type (quarter-end, daily). For example, retrieve position list data for each month end for the past four months. A date column has been added to the results set.
- Growth of 10K Inquiry: Displays the growth of $10,000 of a fund using different time intervals and calculation types, as selected by the user. The standard inquiry number is 3201.
Enhancements to Existing Inquiry Templates
- Fund Performance Inquiry: The Share Class Selection, Performance Calculation Type and Performance Source components now allow the selection of multiple items. Previously, users could only select one or all items.
- Net Asset Value: The Share Class Selection component now allows the selection of multiple share classes. Previously, users could only select one or all classes.
User Interface Enhancements
- New Chart Types
- New Tree Map chart allows visualizing hierarchical segment exposure reports, e.g. Position summary by Asset and Sub-Asset Class.
- Line Chart - Support added for Growth of 10K inquiry template. Line chart support will be extended to valid inquiry templates in future releases.
- Drill Down Navigation Enhancements
- New navigation - Drill down data appears on the same page reducing the amount of time users need to move from one segment to another.
- Drill down allowed from all levels of segment summary hierarchy. In earlier versions, users could drill down only from the lowest level of segment summary hierarchy. For example, Position Summary by Asset and Sub-Asset Class did not allow users to drill down on asset. Users could drill down only for combination of Asset and Sub-Asset Class.
- New Grid Features
- Tree list grid replaces existing grid for Summary inquiries.
- In-grid sorting replaces edit-sort feature in List and Summary Inquiry templates.
- In-grid filter replaces edit-filter feature in List Inquiry templates.
- In-grid filter replaces edit-group filter feature in Summary Inquiry templates.
