Compliant with MiFID II
Under MiFID II, firms are required to take ‘all sufficient steps’ to achieve best execution for their clients in a manner which is provable and transparent, whilst considering a variety of execution factors.
BestX facilitates a transparent solution for these buy-side requirements through a complete range of automated and customisable reporting for compliance departments, regulators, asset owners and counter-party reviews, as well as ad-hoc reporting issued by portfolio/trader/currency/value.
With MiFID II legislation now in full effect, clients are focused on ensuring that meeting regulatory requirement doesn’t create additional wor k for the trading desk,” continued Lewandowski.
FlexTRADER’s latest integration with BestX helps clients to ensure they are working to achieve best execution without disrupting their workflow.
