There is increasing fragmentation in the trading of Equities. New trading venues are emerging to compete with the established exchanges. Some operate open limit order books, while some are dark pools matching larger orders and minimizing market impact.
In addition, firms are increasingly trading internally and in Europe, as a consequence of MiFID, reporting “OTC” through exchange services or through Markit BOAT. It is a competitive environment and numerous claims are made around the relative performance of these different venues.
With Equity Market Share Reporter, you can:
- Get an overview of the participation of competing exchanges and alternative trading venues, including dark pools, and put these into context with OTC reported trades.
- Establish where you or your broker should be executing your order flow in specific stocks, indices or across domestic segments to ensure best execution.
- Make informed decisions about where to route order flow to ensure compliance with Best Execution obligations.
- Put your trading activity in a given stock or group of stocks into the context of the whole market over a specific date range.
