09:40 Case Study: The best execution conundrum - How should it be defined and how can you prove it?

Audience Participation

Regulators demanding that firms prove best execution has caused a real headache for the buy side, mainly down to two key themes. Firstly, there is still no clear standard definition of what exactly best execution is in fixed income. Secondly, there are so many different methods which produce different results, meaning understanding the best process to use and when has blurred the lines even further. During this interactive session, you will all work together to fully understand the different methods of proving best execution where you will learn:

How can you define a standard definition of best execution in terms of pricing and value?
With more regulatory pressure coming towards the buy side, how can a reliable means be put in place to measure and prove best execution?
Can the entire fixed income market be encompassed in a single best execution policy?
How you utilize technology to support best execution analysis with different trading protocols?
How can you use pre trade information to define best pricing and ensure best execution?
