The Smartfund logic to place bids automatically for investors, makes use of mandates that are defined by investors to ensure that bids are placed as per their financial requirements. These mandates will be able to be defined by finance company users on behalf of investors. There are different levels of investors, and all will have a different level of mandate sophistication e.g. Wholesale, Retail, etc.
Finance companies are able to define smartfund product mandates against each investor..
You will only be able to create new smartfund product mandates with a new effective date. Editing of existing mandates is not allowed for auditing and historical purposes .
