Xplain-native Valuation Data Providers

“NAV” and “XPLAIN” are Xplain-native valuation data providers, which can be used in the data cleansing workflow as follows:

  • “XPLAIN”: PV and greeks performed in Xplain will be the values used in the data cleansing workflow
  • “NAV”: the “data provider” of fund NAV values (expressed in the Reporting Ccy) for scaling purposes in the relevant break test definitions (with NAV(t) being the applicable scaling factor at t (e.g. the NAV value at t-1), not the NAV value at t itself)
