Committed to Best Execution

The Delta Equity Best Execution Committee and Pershing’s Best Execution Steering Committees provide overall leadership and guidance on execution quality and best execution monitoring. Pershing has three product-specific subcommittees for equities, options, and fixed income. The committee makes order routing recommendations based on summaries of market center performance provided by our Execution Quality and Order Routing Management (EQORM) group, which analyzes and monitors relevant data and metrics. The monthly Execution Quality Scorecards enable brokers to compare Pershing’s performance to the industry for S&P 500® and NASDAQ 100® trades.

Trading Expertise for both Retail and Institutional Clients

Delta Equity provides a range of choices for order routing. A combination of dedicated desks and electronic trading tools let us customize a solution that best fits the needs of our branch office affiliates.

Proprietary Technology

When it comes to proprietary technology advancements, Pershing’s joint venture with the Financial Engineering and Advanced Trading Solutions (FEATS) unit is accelerating the development of our next generation of trading tools. This team of quantitative analysts, programmers, and investment technology specialists focuses on improving a number of execution competencies, including customized algorithms, pre-and post-trade analytics, and other capabilities to help our advisors better meet their liquidity needs.

Better Connectivity

Proprietary straight-through processing capabilities increase efficiency, reduce the likelihood of errors and discrepancies, and allow for seamless handling of greater volume. With ALERT Direct, Pershing’s real-time institutional account opening and settlement instruction system, and Institutional Trade Exception Monitor (ITEM), their real-time allocation system that interfaces with OASYS Direct, we have streamlined account opening, settlement instructions, and allocation processing. Pershing’s open architecture solution, NetExchange Services, offers real-time access to financial tools and information via proprietary or third party software. Our affiliates can streamline their processing by linking their order management system to our real-time trade block and allocation processing tools
