  1. Smart Order RoutingEverything You wanted to know(but were afraid to ask) 28th October 2009 Steve Grob - director of strategy Fidessa

  3. Spread of Fragmentation • European wide regulation enacted in November 2007 to: • Harmonise the investment services regime in 30 European countries • Improve transparency • Improve client categorisation • Provide “best” execution • Based upon multiple factors not just price • Led to creation of: • Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) • Systematic Internalisers (SIs) • and dark pools

  4. Unintended Consequences • Fragmentation has also increased in: • Market Data • Clearing and Settlement • Transparency Decreases • Different rules for Primaries, MTFs, SI’s and Dark Pools • MiFID Waiver • Cost of execution • Lack of coordination • Market opening times • Tick sizes

  5. But………………. Nevertheless trading of European equities has continued to fragment at an alarming pace.

  15. SOR Challenges • SOR versus Smart Workflow • Fungibility • Must be completely integrated • Monitoring • did my SOR make the right decision? • Proving it to customers and regulators • Venue Connectivity • Highly dynamic • Need plug and play approach • Build versus buy • The risk of using smart brokers

  16. What's in the SOR Box • Market Data • Virtual Market • Consolidated tape • Fungibility • Making a smart decision • Liquidity/Price • Trading fees • Recycling unfilled orders • Reporting - can I prove the SOR made the right choice to • Myself • My customers • My regulator http://fragmentation.fidessa.com/

  17. Reporting

  18. Implementing an SOR Strategy • Build versus Buy • Or……. use a third party Broker • How does SOR fit with Algo trading • Algos are concerned with when to place an order (VWAP, TWAP, POV) • SOR is focussed on where (CSX, Chi-X, Burgundy, Lit v Dark) • And yes they do ultimately need to talk to each other • Use suppliers that have proven technology • SOR sounds easy but it gets complicated quickly

  19. SOR Checklist • It will be impossible to offer “good enough” execution without an SOR that: • Includes lit and dark capabilities • Provides complete workflow • Tells you what is going on • It will be difficult to offer execution services without adopting a pan Nordic and, ultimately a pan European, outlook • The MiFID genie is out of the bottle – there’s no going back! And you're going to need better information than before www.fragmentation.fidessa.com
