Valdi Liquidity Solutions

The cost of complexity in delivering best execution in post-MiFID Europe is rising as liquidity becomes increasingly fragmented.

The multiplicity of execution destinations implies new membership fees, connectivity costs, risk-management layers, smart routers, market data processing costs, compliance issues, and associated additional human resources. Almost all of these are fully recurring costs. There is also the considerable workload and cost involved in managing multiple central counterparties (CCPs) and settlement agents for the middle and back office.

How is it possible, therefore, to achieve a truly competitive Best Execution policy without incurring significant incremental costs?
