The best execution requirement serves clients interest in an equitable trading environment, mitigating the advantage of sellside market information. Highlighting buyside concerns with best price and sellside interest in liquidity and low latency, this report establishes that technology providers bridge these matters through execution management and benchmarking solutions. Such technology is continuously advancing offering new solutions, accompanied by an increased service orientation of providers.
