Managing funds

What is a financial product?

A financial product in OpenSFDR represents a fund or investment vehicle — the entity you're making SFDR disclosures about. Each financial product holds investments in various assets.

For a refresher on how financial products relate to other objects, see Main concepts.

Creating a financial product

Navigate to your tenant and click Financial Products in the sidebar. Then click the + button to create a new fund.

You'll provide basic information such as:

• Name — The legal name of the fund
• Currency — The fund's base currency
