The Execution Interface called NFM (Allfunds) lets us configure communication with an investment fund via Allfunds. This add-on is found in our Marketplace.

Acceptance Difference (NAV) measures the difference in the proposed fill price in relation to the previous days NAV price as recorded in BFS. If a value of 50 was entered this means that a difference of 50% will be accepted.

Reservation Multiple is used to reserve a margin of extra fund units when selling a fund holding using a fixed amount as opposed to a fixed amount of units or percentages of the holding. If 1.1 is entered as the multiple 10% will be added to the number of fund units that will be reserved for the sell order.
