Best Execution – where the buyside and sellside meet Best Execution’s quarterly magazine, daily online news and regular e-mail newsletters examine the impact of regulation, new market participants and new technologies on all asset classes (equities, fixed income, derivatives and FX) from pre-trade to post-trade and beyond. One of the consequences of regulation has been the changing dynamic of buyside-sellside interactions and Best Execution is now broadening its remit with Broker Review to examine the true cost of services provided by brokers to their clients. This will not only cover execution and research, but also scrutinise the shift towards sustainability with the increasing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in investment strategy. Best Execution acts as a bridge between the buyside and the sellside, shining a light on their changing relationship and examining the evolution of the global securities markets, but never forgetting that it is not just technology, but people who are needed to hone that competitive edge.
