Top Brokers and Execution Quality
Below are the five top execution centers for each type of financial instrument for Fisher Investments Luxembourg clients. Our firm provides this information annually to comply with MiFID II regulations.
| Broker | Execution Score Rank | % of Notional Traded | % of Notional Traded Equity | % of Notional Traded Fixed Income | % of Notional Traded Mutual Funds | % of Notional Traded Derivatives | Trade Volume Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NordNet Bank | 12 | 31.9% | 31.9% | 8.3% | 45.3% | 0.0% | 1 |
| Insinger Gilissen | 11 | 18.3% | 18.6% | 5.0% | 0.6% | 0.0% | 2 |
| BinckBank | 9 | 17.0% | 17.2% | 0.1% | 1.8% | 99.9% | 3 |

Table updated 07/07/2023. Data from 01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022.
* Average Execution Score Rank: All executions for each approved broker are measured against three trading benchmarks:
- Trade Date Open
- Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
- Trade Date Close
Differences between average prices and benchmarks are expressed in percentage terms (difference divided by trade value) and are rolled-up by broker into a weighted average percentage difference across each of the three benchmark measures. All 29 approved brokers are ranked across the three different benchmark measures (top-rank meaning the smallest % difference from the benchmark). A weight is applied to each benchmark ranking (Trade Date Open = 70%, VWAP = 15%, Trade Date Close = 15%) and the average ranks are rolled-up into a final “Average Execution Score Rank.”
Example:
Broker X:
- 5 Trade Date Open Rank: 5
- 10 Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Rank: 10
- Trade Date Close Rank: 15
- Avg. Execution Score Rank = (70% * 5) + (15% * 10) + (15% * 15) = 7
Execution quality is reviewed on a weekly basis by the Trading team utilizing Trade Cost Analysis (“TCA”) software. A summary of the TCA is generated quarterly and reviewed in detail with the Trade Practices Committee. Any outliers are reviewed to determine what factors contributed to the execution results and if the factors were within the trader’s/broker’s control.
