No Better Place for Best Execution
When it comes to trading, for us the customer is king. The recently revamped Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) brings this principle into even sharper focus.
Aside from very specific instructions from a customer, financial institutions must now not only take ‘all reasonable steps’ but ‘all sufficient steps’ to get the best possible result for you as a customer when executing an order.
To this end, MiFID II specifies a number of criteria that must be observed when executing client orders. The introduction of the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) has further increased the importance of these criteria in the Swiss marketplace.
For our part, to make sure that you as participants and investors are well-positioned to adapt to this new regulation, we provide building blocks that you can use to construct your own tailored best execution policies.
Our order book quality and new functionalities led to noticeable price improvements in trading with Swiss equities.
