Update Mantle Manually with Assets

Allocate one person within the client team to take on the role of updating assets as and when necessary.

Ensure this person has the correct permissions on Mantle. The key permission to permit assets being updated is the “Accounting” permission.

From the Mantle dashboard, select the “ADMIN” button, and choose “Scheme Setup”.

Select the Scheme which you want to update the assets for.

Select the following option;

If you are inserting assets for the 1st time, please proceed to step 7. If you are only updating assets, please move to step 10.

Select the following option;

You will be presented with the following box;

Name: Name of the asset category, eg. UK Equities, FI Government Bonds etc. Please ensure spelling is correct!
Is unitised: Leave this ticked if you are updating manually. If you are updating assets for a Scheme which has signed up to Mobius Life feeds, deselect this and you will be presented with 2 more options unique to your scheme to complete. These are “Mobius scheme ID and Mobius fund ID.
Decimal places: Specify your desired level of accuracy.
Price data: Choose the index which you wish to roll-forward the assets from. If you do not wish to increase the assets, just leave the price data as “select market data”. This will mean this asset category will just have a static balance.

The asset categories which you set up in the previous step will appear in the “Bank & Investment Accounts” summary table, for example;

To insert asset values, select each of the categories above. You will be presented with the following screen;

Select “add new balance” and you will be presented with the following screen;

Effective date: Select the date which the assets were valued at.
Unit count/balance: If you know the number of units the fund is invested in, select “Unit count” and insert the number of units. The more likely option is that you will select “Balance”, and you should enter the monetary value of the assets. Do not insert commas in this amount, eg. 2,000,000.00

This will add another row to the table in previous step. Do not be alarmed that Mantle has a “unit count” for a fund which you specified a balance. This is just Mantle's way of being able to determine how to roll-forward the assets to future dates.
