A.2 ANNUAL SUMMARY: QUALITY OF THE EXECUTION OBTAINED ON TOP FIVE EXECUTION VENUES
When executing orders, the Firm will take all sufficient steps to achieve Best Execution, subject to and taking into account, any specific instructions from the client, the nature of such orders, the priorities its clients’ place upon it in filling those orders and the nature of the markets and products in question.
In order to deliver Best Execution, the Firm uses its knowledge, experience and judgement to execute trades on behalf of its clients taking into consideration a number of execution factors including:
- The price that the order can be executed at;
- The costs of execution of the transaction to the client;
- The speed of execution of the transaction;
- The likelihood of achieving execution and settlement;
- The size and nature of the order; and
- Any other consideration relevant to the execution of the specific order (the “Execution Factors”).
Typically for equity transactions and currency derivatives price will be the main determining factor.
Best Execution is monitored by using VWAP analysis of all executed trades to ensure the trade has been executed in line with the market. All trades were in line with the market trading expectations.
