A derived property has a derivation formula that instructs LUSID how to automatically calculate (ie. derive) property values.

Required reading: Derivation formulas part 1: Operations and allowed values

Depending on the operation, allowed values can be strings or numbers, but they can also be components of entities such as data fields, identifiers, custom properties, system properties, and even other derived properties. Note the exact components you can reference differ depending on the type of entity the derived property belongs to:

Holding derived properties

You can reference certain components belonging to transactions, instruments and portfolios in a formula for a holding derived property, for example:

if(HoldingType eq 'P' 
and Transaction.TotalConsideration.Currency eq 'USD' 
and Properties[Portfolio/Ibor/Region] eq 'USA') 
then 'United States' else 'Rest of world'

Entity components	Belonging to holdings	Belonging to other types of entity
Entity components	Belonging to holdings	Transactions	Instruments	Portfolios
Stored data fields	Any for holdings. Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `InstrumentUid` `HoldingType` `Cost.Currency`	Any for transactions, prefixed by `Transaction.` Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `Transaction.TransactionId` `Transaction.TransactionPrice.Price` `Transaction.TotalConsideration.Currency`	N/A	N/A
Identifiers	N/A	Transaction instrument identifiers, for example: `Transaction.InstrumentIdentifiers[Instrument/default/Figi]`	N/A	N/A
Sub-holding keys (SHKs)	For example: `SubHoldingKeys[Transaction/X/Y]` `SubHoldingKeys[Transaction/Y/X]`	N/A. SHKs are properties in the Transaction domain but they 'belong' to holdings.	N/A	N/A
Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[Holding/X/Y]` `Properties[Holding/Y/X]` System properties, for example: `Properties[Holding/default/SourcePortfolioId]` `Properties[Holding/default/SourcePortfolioScope]`	Transaction custom properties, including derived properties, prefixed by `Transaction.` For example: `Transaction.Properties[Transaction/X/Y] Transaction.Properties[Transaction/Y/X]` Transaction system properties prefixed by `Transaction.` For example: `Transaction.Properties[Transaction/default/BondInterest] Transaction.Properties[Transaction/default/NotionalAmount]`	Instrument custom properties, including derived properties. For example: `Properties[Instrument/X/Y]` `Properties[Instrument/Y/X]` Instrument system properties, for example: `Properties[Instrument/default/Name]` Properties[Instrument/default/Scope] Note: You must also retrieve the instrument property when retrieving the holding derived property in order for the value to be calculated correctly.	Portfolio custom properties but NOT portfolio derived properties. For example: `Properties[Portfolio/X/Y]` `Properties[Portfolio/Y/X]` Portfolio system properties, for example: `Properties[Portfolio/default/ModelFees]` Properties[Portfolio/default/FundFamily] Note: You must also retrieve the portfolio property when retrieving the holding derived property in order for the value to be calculated correctly.

Transaction derived properties

You can reference certain components belonging to instruments in a formula for a transaction derived property, for example:

if(TotalConsideration.Currency eq 'USD' 
and Properties[Instrument/Ibor/Region] eq 'USA') 
then 'United States' else 'Rest of world'

Entity components	Belonging to transactions	Belonging to other types of entity
Entity components	Belonging to transactions	Instruments
Stored data fields	Any for transactions. Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `TransactionId` `TransactionPrice.Price` `TotalConsideration.Currency`	N/A
Identifiers	For example: `InstrumentIdentifiers[Instrument/default/ClientInternal]` `InstrumentIdentifiers[Instrument/default/Figi]` `InstrumentIdentifiers[Instrument/default/LusidInstrumentId]`	N/A
Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[Transaction/X/Y]` Properties[Transaction/Y/X] System properties, for example: `Properties[Transaction/default/BondInterest]` Properties[Transaction/default/NotionalAmount]	Instrument custom properties, including derived properties. For example: `Properties[Instrument/X/Y]` `Properties[Instrument/Y/X]` Instrument system properties, for example: `Properties[Instrument/default/Name]` Properties[Instrument/default/Scope] Note: You must also retrieve the instrument property when retrieving the transaction derived property in order for the value to be calculated correctly.

Instrument derived properties

You can only reference components belonging to instruments in a formula for an instrument derived property.

Entity components	Belonging to instruments	Belonging to other types of entity
Stored data fields	Any for instruments except `Href` and `Links`. For example: `LusidInstrumentId` `DomCcy` `InstrumentDefinition.InstrumentType` Note: It is not yet possible to reference the fields of the nested economic definition.	N/A
Identifiers	For example: `Identifiers[ClientInternal]` `Identifiers[Figi]` `Identifiers[LusidInstrumentId]`	N/A
Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[Instrument/X/Y]` `Properties[Instrument/Y/X]` System properties, for example: `Properties[Instrument/default/Name] Properties[Instrument/default/Scope]`	N/A

Portfolio derived properties

You can only reference components belonging to portfolios in a formula for a portfolio derived property.

Entity components	Belonging to portfolios	Belonging to other types of entity
Stored data fields	Any for portfolios except `Href` and `Links`. Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `Id.Scope` `Version.UserIdCreated` `ParentPortfolioId.Code`	N/A
Identifiers	N/A	N/A
Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[Portfolio/X/Y]` `Properties[Portfolio/Y/X]` System properties, for example: `Properties[Portfolio/default/FundFamily] Properties[Portfolio/default/ModelFees]`	N/A

Legal entity derived properties

You can only reference components belonging to legal entities in a formula for a legal entity derived property.

Identifiers	For example: `Identifiers[LegalEntity/InternationalBanks/BankId]` Identifiers[LegalEntity/InvestmentFirms/InvestId]	N/A
Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[LegalEntity/X/Y]` `Properties[LegalEntity/Y/X]` System properties, for example: `Properties[LegalEntity/default/LEI]`	N/A

Person derived properties

You can only reference components belonging to person entities in a formula for a person derived property.

Entity components	Belonging to person entities	Belonging to other types of entity
Stored data fields	Any for person entities except `Href` and `Links`. Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `LusidPersonId` `DisplayName` `Version.AsAtCreated`	N/A

Properties	Custom properties, including other derived properties. For example: `Properties[Person/X/Y]` `Properties[Person/Y/X]`	N/A

Custom valuation metric derived properties

You can create a custom metric to extend the set of LUSID metrics available to include in a valuation report.

To do this, create a derived property type in the special DerivedValuation domain. It does not belong to a type of entity as such, but rather can be reported in the same way as a LUSID metric. See an example.

You can reference components belonging to certain entities, and also certain LUSID and other custom metrics, in a formula for a custom metric.

Components	Belonging to instruments	Belonging to holdings	Belonging to transactions, portfolios or portfolio groups	LUSID metrics

For example: `Instrument.LusidInstrumentId` `Instrument.DomCcy` `Instrument.InstrumentDefinition.InstrumentType`	Any for holdings, prefixed by `PortfolioHolding.` Nested fields can be referenced using dot notation. For example: `PortfolioHolding.InstrumentUid` `PortfolioHolding.HoldingType` `PortfolioHolding.Cost.Currency`	N/A	N/A
Identifiers	Any prefixed by `Instrument.` For example: `Instrument.Identifiers[ClientInternal]` `Instrument.Identifiers[Figi]` `Instrument.Identifiers[LusidInstrumentId]`	N/A	N/A	N/A
