New Website and Best Exexcution Blog
KOR Group has relaunched our website and posted a blog on Best Execution
Over the years KOR Group has helped financial services firms of all types and sizes understand today’s complex, high-speed, electronic market structure. This includes buy-side, sell-side, high frequency traders, exchanges, ATSs, regulators and others. Today KOR is building on that by focusing our efforts on buy-side firms looking to meet and exceed their Best Execution obligations.
To do this, we have simplified our website and made it easier to understand our offerings. Please visit the new site and let us know what you think! Or learn more about our Best Execution Consulting and Market Structure Workshops directly.
We’ve also published a new blog post that examines Best Execution for investment advisors and KOR’s approach to a holistic analysis tailored to a firm’s size and investment strategy. We can help you understand and answer the the following questions:
- Are you maintaining leading Best Execution procedures? When were your policies last reviewed?
- Are you appropriately accounting for soft dollars? Have you tried to unify your policies with MiFID II’s unbundling requirements coming?
- Are your annual broker surveys covering all the right items?
- How are you evaluating the venues your broker sends orders to?
- How do you evaluate brokers and venues that you are not connected to?
- Are you still relying on reports from the sell-side to analyze execution quality?
- How detailed are your quantitative analytics, and are you sure brokers are calculating metrics and recording data properly?
- Do you know what other firms of your size are doing?
