Show costs of an order via the web interface (ex-ante output)

Once you have defined your cost scheme and also defined the ex-ante costs for your custodian banks, you can – as an alternative to the comprehensive analysis options in Infront Portfolio Manager – also calculate the ex-ante costs of an order directly in the web interface. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click the "Ex-ante output" on the start page of the "MiFID II - Cost Service".

2. On the "Ex-ante output data" page, first select the bank, securities account and securities configuration in the upper left corner. If you manage many securities accounts, the filter function allows for a quick selection.

3. In the "Data input" area, use the two drop-down lists to specify the account currency and the trading currency.
4. Enter the ISIN of the security to be ordered.
5. In the "Quantity/nominal" field, enter the number of units you want to order.
6. In the "Last price" field, enter the current price of the security.
7. Define the investment horizon below. Use the integrated calendar below.
8. Start the cost calculation with the "Calculate" button.
   On the right side of the window, you then see all ex-ante costs of the order broken down by cost category and type.
   

In the results, you see the most important order data – security, ISIN and investment horizon – summarised in the upper right corner. With the "Expand all" buttons, you can also display the individual cost elements for each cost type.
