The next planned version of openfunds is expected to be version 2.14.0. The current schedule for the release is Q3 2026. In the coming months, you will find here a list of fields already planned to be included and other upcoming changes. These fields may be used by members in advance of official publication, with the caveat that they are not yet finalised.
UK Consumer Composite Investments (CCI) regime
The UK Consumer Composite Investments (CCI) regime includes the requirement to complement product disclosures by structured, machine-readable data files, enabling digital distribution and automated processing.
As part of this development, FinDatEx announced on 23 March 2026 that EMT and EPT templates will be reviewed in light of the FCA’s CCI requirements. openfunds will closely monitor these developments and – once the updated EMT/EPT specifications are available – intends to reflect the relevant changes within its own data standard and release an updated field version accordingly.
ESMA’s Liquidity Management Tools (LMTs) of UCITS and open-ended AIFs
openfunds is planning to introduce a new field to capture the requirements in line with ESMA’s Guidelines on Liquidity Management Tools of UCITS and open-ended AIFs (published 12 March 2026).
The new field, OFST351350 “ESMA Liquidity Management Tools”, is intended to record the selected LMTs applicable to a fund in a simple and consistent way. It allows all relevant selected LMTs to be reported in one pipe-separated field, using the values “Redemption gate”, “Extension of notice periods”, “Redemption fee”, “Swing pricing”, “Dual pricing”, “Anti-dilution levy” and “Redemption in kind”.
More granular openfunds fields, such as OFST401003 Single Pricing Type, OFST454300 Has Dilution Levy Applied By Fund, several redemption gate fields and others, may support or help derive the value of this field. Where such fields are used, consistency should be ensured across all related data elements.
In line with ESMA’s approach, the field reflects the concept of “selected LMTs” used for the minimum mandatory selection requirement and therefore does not include side pockets or suspensions as options. ESMA states that managers must select at least two appropriate LMTs from the relevant annex lists, while additional liquidity measures may also be selected where appropriate.
