We have a team of PhDs who spend their day analyzing investor behavior before, during, and after the trade. We share this data with portfolio managers and traders to help them retain alpha. One of our equity PMs, for example, has been able to reduce trading costs by trading smaller blocks over a longer period to minimize market impact.
We treat dealers as partners, not as enemies. Why is this important? Because dealers can no longer warehouse risk like they used to, so they rely on us for liquidity as much as we rely on them. During periods of market volatility, that is very important.
We don't have proprietary trading, firm positions, or other distractions. We are fiduciaries with a 100% client focus.
