At-or-Better
Our ability to enhance liquidity increases our clients' certainty of execution.
When natural liquidity is not present in the marketplace, we have the ability to commit our own capital to complete trades on our client's behalf. This capability can help reduce the effects of volatility and minimize slippage.
As a leading market destination we believe the certainty of execution should be demonstrated in the ability to execute orders "at-or-better"* than the consolidated NBBO.
