Our Compliance team is close to the business and monitors all activities of our clients from start. Execution takes place within a compliant infrastructure, where, among others, best execution and pre-post-trade transparency is continuously monitored and documented.

Best execution

Best-Ex is one of the order types available on Equities. A blueprint (trade analytics) with execution details will be available. Best-Ex requirements are difficult to fill in Fixed Income markets because there still hybrid (listed vs OTC) and are not applicable to derivatives.
