ROUTING SYSTEMS

In shares that have a listing on more than one exchange it has now become imperative that they look across markets to ensure they are transacting at the best possible price for their client orders.

As most exchanges operate in micro-seconds, the use of modern technology is not only the most efficient way for brokers to achieve best execution, it is vital they use it to do so.
