Typically the funds come from the parent in some way but there are a variety of ways it can be done, with very different consequences for the parent. Once you have the funds the buy in the spun off company is performed at the spin off price.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/575424422023-01-14T16:09:58Z2023-01-14T16:09:58ZQuote Loader and "Accounting for spin-offs"<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi Bob</p>
<p>Are you running Quote Loader build 3058?<br>
If not update under Extensions.<br>
If yes post a screen shot of Your Quote loader window so I can see if I can see any setting issues.</p>
<p>For your example post the full security name, ticker, Exch Mod, Source and last correct price you have, your base currency and the currency the securities are traded in.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/575424422023-01-18T15:20:51Z2023-01-18T15:20:53ZQuote Loader and "Accounting for spin-offs"<div><p>Thank you Derek,</p>

Hi Bob</p>
<p>Your three problem securities are traded on a number of exchanges in different counties in local currencies. Without knowing which exchange FT is defaulting to an Australian exchange where the trade currency is AUD. By setting the Exch Mod to LSE London Stock Exchange FT then know that the exchange you want quotes retuned from. See Screen shot.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/575424422023-01-18T16:50:38Z2023-01-18T16:50:38ZQuote Loader and "Accounting for spin-offs"<div><p>Excellent, thanks Derek<br>
