The FIF Rule 605/606 Working Group has been working on improving access to execution quality statistics for the retail community. In an effort to provide investors with more useful disclosures about order routing practices, FIF members have voluntarily agreed to provide supplemental statistics on retail execution quality as defined below. While many quantitative and qualitative factors go into determining routing decisions, the following statistics are intended to provide some additional perspective on the execution quality provided to retail investors beyond the currently available Rule 605 and Rule 606 statistics, which are available here.
Please note that when evaluating this data a number of factors such as a firm’s client base, order flow mix, and business model should be taken into consideration.*
