OFST020080 – Share Class Consolidation Key

An unique alpha-numeric string that is equal for all share classes of a fund. Usually this field is populated with the proprietary share class key of the fund company's database. This field helps to decide whether a new ISIN represents a new fund or a new share class of an existing fund.

This field is a 'Hybrid Field', meaning that the recipient may change the value in their database (https://openfunds.org/knowledge/whitepapers/fieldtypology/). Therefore, it can be used for consistency checks only for one specific transmission between sender and recipient. Otherwise there is a risk, that in the sender's database there are conflicting consolidation keys from different senders.
