Applying Exclusions

Applying Exclusions

Exclusions allow you to set specific Accounts, Securities, or Security Types to be exempt from fees during a billing period.

Note: Non-managed accounts and positions are automatically excluded from billing and need not be added here. Any overlap in the exclusion rules will only be applied once.

Timing, Start Date, and End Date

Exclusions can only be applied for an entire billing period. If an exclusion starts or stops partway through a period, it is not applied when billing is calculated at the end of the period. An exclusion’s Start Date must be on or before the period start. The End Date, if applicable, must be after the period has ended.

For example, to exclude an account for a single billing quarter, you would set the start date to the first day of the quarter (ex 4/1/2030), and the end date to the day after the end of the quarter (7/1/2030).
