DST FAN Mail has provided Ebix CRM with the following information concerning Aim Funds. FAN Mail had discovered missing CUSIPs within the AIM Account Master Position (AMP) file for 06/25/2001. The AMP file was received by FAN Mail on 6/26/2001.
Due to an Aim Custodial Name Change from ITC to ANTC, Aim transmitted an updated Account Position (APR) and Account Master Position (AMP) for all FAN Mail users who had affected accounts. The AMP file included non-active funds with a Blank CUSIP field--that is, funds that should not have transmitted through FAN Mail. The blank CUSIP field (Positions 23 through 31) caused data in following fields to shift to the left. All other datawithin the AMP is correct.
The error is limited to the AMP file for 6/25/2001 only. Since a reversal of AMP data is not possible, AIM will not send any corrections.
