Active vs Passive Breaches – Platform Behavior

In risk-managed investment platforms, breaches of portfolio restrictions are categorized as either active or passive. Understanding this distinction is critical for proper control and timely response.

Detailed Explanation Here:

Aspect	Active Breach	Passive Breach
Trigger	Manual action (e.g. order submission)	Platform-detected drift
Impact	Immediate block	Logged and tracked for review
Response Time	Instant	Deadline-driven (typically 30 days)
Platform Role	Preventive	Monitoring and alerting
Examples	Buying over max % in one stock	Asset appreciates beyond allowed threshold

Active Limit Breach:

Occurs at the time of order submission.

The platform performs real-time validation
If a breach is detected:
- The order is blocked
- A modal alert informs the user
The user must modify the order to comply

Passive Limit Breach:

Occurs after trade execution due to market or position changes.

Monitored daily at 01:00, or manually
If a breach is detected:
- platform logs: portfolio, position, restriction, and detection date
- A resolution deadline is calculated (current date + 30 days)
- Notifications can be set up in the platform and sent to responsible staff

This allows proactive monitoring without interrupting day-to-day operations.
