Abstract

Determining whether or not advisory firms are achieving best execution involves a host of complex issues. Although the U.S. SEC has not issued detailed guidance on what these issues are or how they should be evaluated, the SEC does require advisory firms to evaluate periodically and systematically the quality of executions provided by broker/dealers. The SEC staff has identified several steps that advisory firms may take to ensure that clients are getting best execution. Success boils down to implementing a process to minimize trading costs while obtaining necessary services and making full disclosure of brokerage practices and conflicts of interest.
