100% 85% of KO traded on NYSE before…

…but only 25% after Reg ATS, Decimalization, and Reg NMS

2007: Regulation NMS required exchanges to route marketable orders to venue with best quote, ensuring price priority across venues and opening the door to increase competition

1998: Regulation ATSopened the door to the creation of ECNs, ATSs, and off exchange trading venues (“Dark Pools”)

2000: Decimalization increased competition to quote spawning the creation of Electronic Market Makers and other types of HFT

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING – BROKER ALGORITHMS

Automated Decision Making plays a vital role in today’s equity markets and is the core underpinning of broker algorithms.

Broker algorithms provide mutual funds, hedge funds and other types of funds the ability to execute their large orders intelligently in a complex environment.

These algorithms could be described as a “search engine” – find the best and most relevant results based on limited information and a broad spectrum of choices.

The decisions made by these algorithms are based on a multiple of factors: How many shares are you trying to execute? What is the objective of the algorithm in terms of trading style? What trading venues are available to chose from and where are they

located? What is the current supply and demand? What estimations can be applied? How do we deal with gaming factors (High Frequency Trading)?
