Properties

Properties relate to static data associated with the fund, class or benchmark entity.

Example – this data can potentially be used in a Fund Details table embedded in a fund page or factsheet.

Allocations

Allocations relate to data where there is a value linked to a label. The labels are generally different categories into which financial assets are divided e.g. Geographic regions, Industry sectors.

Example – a SectorBreakdown chart displays the percentage allocation per sector of a specific Fund.

Statistics

Statistics relate to data where there is a value linked to a label but the label in this instance generally refers to a metric such as a fund performance or risk related statistic that is updated periodically.

Example – An Annual Performance table or an Income Distribution table displayed in the performance section of a fund page.

Timeseries

Timeseries relate to values associated with dates over a period of time.

Example – A Cumulative Performance chart tracking fund returns over a period of time.
