Data 

What information is required for an initial upload? 

...

If you are uploading on your own in Engine, navigate to Securities > Manual Security Creation, click on Add Private Equity, select relevant Instrument Type and fill in holding details. Also, refer to this article on Creating Private Securities. 

Do we have to send advices/statements in PDF format every day/week/month? 

We can take data in any format (and prefer data feeds because their processing can be automated). However since most banks in the region do not have capabilities to provide electronic data, the bulk of our data (~80%) comes in a monthly PDF statement. We handle most of the statement formats that you would typically see (currently about 120 formats from 50 banks).

We also have a spreadsheet format and you can send us your intra-month transactions in that format and we will be able to process them seamlessly.
