This configuration is for legacy use only and is not applicable to firms using BYOD (Bring Your Own Data). If your firm uses BYOD, attribution-related configurations are managed via Data Blocks and Data Objects and do not require this configuration.
The Attribution Data Objects configuration class controls how cash positions are identified within attribution data and analytics. Proper configuration of these settings ensures that cash holdings are consistently recognized and excluded or included correctly in performance attribution calculations and analytical outputs.
These settings are especially important for firms using legacy attribution models where identifiers are manually specified.
| Setting Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Code for Attribution | Text (user-defined) | [Cash] | Specifies the identifier string used to denote cash holdings within attribution data. This value is used by Assette to correctly interpret cash as a distinct asset class in legacy attribution reports. Administrators should ensure this code matches what appears in the source attribution data. |
| Cash Code for Analytics | Text (user-defined) | [Cash] | Specifies the identifier string used to denote cash holdings for attribution-related analytics. This ensures consistency between attribution and analytics views when handling cash positions. The value should be aligned with the cash identifier used in source datasets. |
Additional Notes #
- These settings are not required or applicable for firms streaming data via the Bring Your Own Data (BYOD), as data structure and content are governed by Data Blocks and Data Objects.
- It is recommended to use the same identifier for both Attribution and Analytics to prevent mismatches in data treatment.
- These settings only apply to datasets processed through the legacy attribution engine.
