Automatic import of classifications

Hi,

Thanks for using the script.

Ad 1: There are many types of funds and the script currently only supports some. LU1230136894 is of fund type “Money Market” which is not yet included and Morningstar actually provides not much information on that fund type except that Asset Allocation is 100% “Other”. So yes, please add manually whatever you think is suitable.

Ad 2: The script is built for retreiving non-obvious or more dynamic information. So yes, if you want to classify your deposit accounts, please set them manually. Please note that you are free to extend the taxonomies. The script will not overwrite unknown ones. So you could also define some other category than “Cash” for those.

Ad 3: The script will not overwrite taxonomies for which it was not able to retrieve anything. If you want to be on the safe side, add #PPC:SKIP to the Note attribute of the security which you want to maintain manually.

One more remark: For some securities (especially synthetic ones), Morningstar does not provide the holdings. For such cases, you may add someting like #PPC:[ISIN2=IE00BFMXXD54]to the Note attribute of the security. If the script doesn’t find any information on holdings, it will use this alternative ISIN (from some other fund) to retrieve the holdings of that one. In multifaktortest.xml, there is such an example for LU0496786574 and the above mentioned IE00BFMXXD54 as ISIN2.
