Fund Sub-Types Tab
Use the Fund Sub-Types tab to create optional second-level groupings under each Fund Type. Fund Sub-Types allow further classification of Funds for more detailed financial analysis and reporting. Each Sub-Type must be assigned to a Fund Type.
When to use
Use Fund Sub-Types when you need an intermediate classification between Fund Types and individual Funds, or when your reporting requires grouping funds within a shared Fund Type.
