DSS Search: FundSearch using FundSubType

Hi,

Would like to retrieve full results for Fund Search - for Fund Subtype TASS Hedge Fund only.

Please could you help me with the example request, it's not retrieveing any results for me.

        [Example("Fund Search: By Fund SubType")]
        public void FundSearch_ByRic()
        {
            SearchContext.Preferences.MaxPageSize = 10;


            Status.Notify(SearchContext, null, "FundSearch", MethodType.Operation, Publish.Primary);
            var results = SearchContext.FundSearch(
                FundSearchRequest.Create(
                    null, //Asset Status
                    null, //Fund name
                    null, //Fund adminstrator
                    null, //Portfolio manager
                    null, //Domicile code
                    null, //Currency code
                    new[] { FundSubType.TassHedgeFund }, //Sub types
                    IdentifierType.NONE ,
                    null,
                    IdentifierType.FundLipperId )); //Preferred identifier


            //Output
            foreach (var instrument in results.Take(10))
                Status.WriteLine("{0}:{1} {2} ({3})", instrument.Identifier, instrument.IdentifierType, instrument.Description, instrument.InstrumentType);
            Status.EndNotify(SearchContext);
        }

Best regards,

Gareth

@gareth.teage,

Hmmm, I have the impression the FundSubType filter might have an issue.

If I do this search:

{ "SearchRequest": { "AssetStatus": null, "CurrencyCodes": null, "DomicileCodes": null, "Identifier": null, "IdentifierType": null, "FundAdministrator": null, "FundName": "Fidelity", "PortfolioManager": null, "SubTypes": null, "PreferredIdentifierType": "FundLipperId" } }

then the 8527 results all have "SubType": "ClosedEndFund".

But if I set:

"SubTypes": [ "ClosedEndFund", "ExchangeTradedFund", "InsuranceFund", "InvestmentFund", "MutualFund", "PensionFund", "TassHedgeFund" ],

or:

"SubTypes": [ "ClosedEndFund" ],

then I get 0 results.

That does not seem normal, I have escalated this to the dev team.

@gareth.teage, the dev team started looking at it. It seems to be a bug, the GUI does the same thing.

@Christiaan Meihsl - sorry I should have been clearer, just wanted to check in terms of estimated timeline of bug fix, I may need to advise on this soon as part of a dynamic universe workflow.
