Securities, Cash & Transactions (T’A)
To give the participants an understanding of the data requirements for the instruments (securities, cash, etc.) and transactions in Triple’A GUI and the ability to enter such data and/or check existing input themselves. This is also a basic course for the implementation team.
Topics Include
- Instruments table and its components, sub-tables and related tables, different instrument natures and sub-natures
- Data requirements/dependencies for the business functions of the main instrument table, sub-tables and related tables
- Data requirements/dependencies for the risk engine and event generation (corporate actions)
- Input of all basic instruments natures (Stocks, Fund Shares, Cash Accounts, Money Market, Discount Instruments, Fixed Incomes, Futures, Forward, Options, Swaps, etc.)
Target Audience
Superusers who will help define the interface.
All users (front/middle and/or back office) who will enter, maintain and/or check data in the PM&A (Triple’A).

Implementing PM&A (T’A)–Script, Positions & Formats
To give the participants an overview of the data model in terms of static data, operations and positions, enable them to use the script language, introduce the concepts of formats and understand all the mechanisms related to the fusion and the extended position entity. As the data model and script are used everywhere in Triple’A, it is important that part of the implementation team follows this training.
Topics Include
- Database concepts and the data model in Triple’A
- Script language: data type, operators, functions
- Description of the static tables and sub tables
- Infrastructure and Instruments
- Portfolio and Third Party
- Default values, input control, filters
- Creation and retrieval of Lists and Classifications
- Introduction to the creation of Formats
- Relationship between operation, position & balance positions
- Basic of the fusion process
- Mechanism of the core business function
- Valuation
- Risk valuationn
- Fund splitting
- Operation history
- Journal
- Definitions of formats for the above functions
Target Audience
Mainly super users but also end users involved in the strategy definitions. An interest in the basic aspects IT would be useful in the case of end users.
