299 | Simple fact | Fund Class Type Identifier | A textual identification of the class of fund units. This is used to uniquely identify a particular class of fund units, and thereby identify features of this type of unit within the fund. | text | For example, a unit may have a specific load structure, eg, front end or back end, an income policy, eg, pay out or accumulate, or a trailer policy, eg, with or without. Fund classes are typically denoted by a single character, eg, Class A, Class 2. Background: Original FIBIM definition describes a whole new set of terms, definitions and enumerated values that those terms may take. These are similar to, but distinct from, the equivalent terms for subscription and redemption that are defined as terms for the fund as a whole. HOWEVER: The last line in the FIBIM description identifies this term as a single letter or number which is understood to mean the class type, i.e. a selectable list of types Class A, Class 2 etc. Similar to Equities class types e.g. Class A Shares. In other words, the original written definition for the term is incorrect, in that it defines the implication of this term, not the meaning of the term itself. EFAMA DD "FundCode" may be equivalent, if this is applied ot the unit and not th efund overall. Further work:Identify whether and how to define the different characteristics identified in th eFIBIM definition, at the level of the fund unit. We currently have similar terms at overall Fund level / defaults only. | ISO FIBIM = InvestmentFundClass:ClassType | MB Draft based on ISO FIBIM narrative | Action | 17-Feb-10 | |||

Related to the Unit. Usually the terms are set already at the fund level, and won't vary at share class level between different share classes, but they are facts about the share classes / Notes / Bonds i.e. what you can trade.
