FUNDVIEW

One of the benefits of being a principal member of the NZFDIC, is that you are supplied with access to Fund View. This includes access to the database (currently via CD), updates of the database during the subscription period, automatic expiry, on-line manual, HelpDesk service and the quarterly newsletter.

Currently, we post out to all principal members the CD whenever it is updated (this is at least once a year). Moving with the times, the Funding Information Service has enabled the updates to occur online. This would provide several benefits including centres accessing the updates as soon as they are ready rather than waiting for the update to be posted out. The Federation would save time and costs associated with posting these out. All that is needed to do this is an internet connection, a user code and a password. There does need to be a measure of security around this – the Exec will discuss this aspect in more dept and get back to you around the processes that can be used to support centres around this security.

Can all principal member centres please advise Vicki Coddington by 31 August, whether you are interested in accessing this service on-line.

For those who still want to access Fund View via CD, this will be available at the AGM.
