FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Only funds sold to retail investors / nonprofessional investors. AIFs can fall under the PRIIP regime, that depends on to whom they are sold. Other exemptions may be that an AIF is wrapped with a insurance contract and then sold to retail investors. 

The PRIIPs regulation requires KIDs to be updated at least once a year. Immediate updates are required when there are material changes — for example, significant shifts in the performance scenarios or risk indicator. In practice, many issuers update quarterly to reflect prevailing market conditions and maintain accuracy. Infront's system supports automated re-calculation and publishing on any schedule you define.

Data quality is managed through automated validation, enrichment, and reconciliation processes. Updates and corrections are applied on an ongoing basis, with effective-date tracking to ensure historical accuracy.

Infront integrates with a wide range of reference data providers via file-based feeds and APIs, including Morningstar, Bloomberg, and direct exchange connections.

Any order type or algorithm supported by the destination venue is available — including market, limit, stop, stop-limit, iceberg, and execution-condition combinations.

Limit Order Management is handled within the Order Workflow Engine using a pre-configured but flexible workflow driven by real-time market price movements. Orders can be held in a pending state until the reference market opens, at which point they are monitored continuously. When the defined price limit is reached, orders are automatically released and routed via a dedicated set of execution rules — which govern precisely how and when execution occurs, including optional routing to the Quotation Engine for further processing.

RFQs are received via FIX protocol directly into the Quotation Engine, where risk prices are generated dynamically based on reference prices sourced from exchanges, adjusted for request size. Pricing can be further refined — or declined — based on the requesting client's profile and a broad set of configurable parameters. These parameters can be adjusted automatically in response to market conditions, or calibrated manually by dealers in real time.

Consideration-based orders are processed using the same mechanism as volume-based orders where the destination venue supports them. Where a venue does not support consideration orders natively, they can be converted to volume-based orders at transmission using the prevailing market price. Note that this conversion is not available for interest-bearing instruments.

Execution confirmations are received from venues and brokers via FIX and propagated back to the order originator using the same mechanism through which the order was submitted. Drop copies via FIX are also available, enabling real-time confirmation distribution to additional downstream systems or counterparties.
