Jem,

Currently UBSW can accept a Fix Allocation message for the stage to identify the account splits. We have found this stage to be very important to our buy-side clients and have gone live with a number of large institutions.

We are currently working on the use of the Fix Allocation message as a Confirm within the European Allocation model.

As per Paul Scott's subsequent email, there is also the Working Group. As part of the working group, I have the action to co-ordinate and propose the Allocation Models for the next meeting.

Happy to discuss.
