Model portfolios · model 1.1

Model portfolios. Target weights per model and security. A new model name creates the model. A full file replaces the targets of the models it names; weights per model should add up to 100% minus the cash target. Key: model + symbol.

Namespace: urn:vestoris:feed:model:1.1
Schema: model-1.1.xsd
Also accepted: urn:vestoris:feed:model:1.0 (model-1.0.xsd)
Key (upsert): model + symbol: a record with an existing key updates it; a new key inserts.
Start-of-day step: Accounts and groups
File name: F00012_MODEL_20261023_001.xml
Modes: delta (action="delete" removes a record); full (records not listed are inactivated, up to the feed's safety threshold: H201)

The <feed> root #

Attribute	Use	Type	Meaning
`businessDate`	required	`xs:date`	The business date the data is for (YYYY-MM-DD).
`firm`	required	`xs:string`	Your firm code, shown on Data › Feeds (e.g. F00012).
`source`	optional	`xs:string`	Who produced the file (vendor or system name).
`generated`	required	`xs:dateTime`	When the file was produced (UTC).
`recordCount`	required	`xs:nonNegativeInteger`	The number of record elements. A file whose count does not match is refused (F004): it was probably cut short.
`mode`	optional (default delta)	`xs:string`	delta: only the records in the file change, and action="delete" removes one. full: the file is complete; records it does not list are inactivated, up to the feed's safety threshold.

The <record> elements #

upsert (insert or update by key) or delete (removes the record; a security or account is inactivated, never deleted). Elements may appear in any order; an element that is left out keeps its current value.

Element	Required	Type	Meaning	Codes
`model` key #	yes	`xs:string` ≤ 120 chars	The model's name. Part of the key. Text, up to 120 characters. Part of the key. Example: `Growth Model`	`R101` `R114`
`symbol` key #	yes	`xs:string` pattern [A-Z][A-Z0-9.\-]{0,11}	The security. Part of the key. A ticker symbol: letters, digits, "." or "-", up to 12. Part of the key. Example: `AAPL`	`R101` `R111` `R109`
`targetPct` #	yes	`xs:decimal` ≥ 0; ≤ 100; 25 digits; 10 decimals	Target weight in percent of the account. A decimal number written as text, e.g. 1234.5 (min 0 max 100). Example: `9`	`R101` `R103` `R111`
`udfs` #	no	`Udfs` up to 10 <udf slot="1..10" name="...">, ≤ 255 chars each	User-defined fields (format 1.1). Each <udf> names its slot (1 to 10) and optionally the field's name; the value is checked against the type your Admin gave the field. A slot that is not active for your firm is refused (U101), a value of the wrong type too (U102), and a name that differs from the slot's name (U103). Example: `<udf slot="1" name="Internal rating">BBB</udf>`	`U101` `U102` `U103` `U104`

Validation #

No DOCTYPE or entity declaration (F002); well-formed UTF-8 (F001).
The namespace and version are published (F007), and the file matches the XSD (F003).
Header: firm is your firm code (F006), businessDate a business day (F005), recordCount the number of records (F004).
Each record: the field checks in the table above, references to records that exist (R109), no key twice in a file (R110). A rejected record does not stop the rest of the file.

Codes this format can return: F001 F002 F003 F004 F005 F006 F007 F008 H201 R101 R103 R109 R110 R111 R114 U101 U102 U103 U104

Version history #

1.0 (2026-10-26): First published version.
1.1 (2026-10-26): Adds the optional <udfs> element (up to ten <udf slot="1..10" name="...">value</udf>) to the reference formats that carry user-defined fields: security, issuer, account, accountgroup, broker, model, benchmark and list. Additive: every valid 1.0 file is still accepted under its 1.0 namespace.
