The next planned version of openfunds will be version 2.12.0 of openfunds. This will be released in Q3 2025 and be a general updates version. A list of fields already planned to be included in the next version is available below and will grow over time. These fields may be used by members in advance of official publication, with the caveat that they are not yet finalised.
OFST701047 ‘Is UK OFR Registered’
This field is introduced to capture the FCA recognition status of a fund under the Overseas Funds Regime (OFR), which directly impacts its ability to be marketed to UK retail investors and included in tax-advantaged products such as ISAs and CTFs. As the Temporary Marketing Permissions Regime (TMPR) ends on 31 December 2026, capturing this status is essential for ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance and fund eligibility in the UK market.
OFDY000010 ‘Price Currency’
This field is introduced to handle cases where monetary amounts related to prices and taxes are reported in minor currencies (e.g., GBX, USX, EUX) rather than the standard Share Class Currency (e.g., GBP, USD, EUR). It addresses industry needs, particularly in regions like the UK, where pence (GBX) is commonly used for pricing and dividend payments instead of pounds (GBP).
Use ISO 4217 codes for currencies; for minor currencies, replace the third character with “X” (e.g. GBX, USX, EUX) as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217.
