Can someone please help me detmine how to communicate a mutual fund order via FIX? I cannot find any tags in any version (other than Tag 167 in 4.1 and 4.2)to handle the necessary entries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Gene,
There’s unfortunately not yet a standard way to answer this question. The objective of the Fix Mutual Funds working group, where you posted the question, is to propose enhancements to the Fix protocol to enable this. However, this effort is starting out slowly and may take a while to complete.

Could you provide any further specifics on your interest, e.g. with whom would you like to exchange FIX Mutual Fund messages?
