Fox River Execution Tops the Charts in Institutional Investor's 2010 US Equity Trading Ranking
NEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- SunGard's Fox River Execution has been recognized as the top provider of U.S. equity trading algorithms in Institutional Investor's 2010 US Equity Trading Ranking, achieving the #1 rank for both arrival price and VWAP executions of U.S. equities. Institutional Investor's 14th annual survey of trading costs was conducted by Elkins/McSherry, a subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
SunGard's Fox River Execution is a leading broker dealer that provides unique algorithmic trading technology with embedded "trader logic", providing algorithms that mimic the experience, logic and knowledge of a trader. Fox River Execution serves global trading partners in the U.S. equity and exchange traded fund (ETF) markets.
For the first time this year Elkins/McSherry also ranked brokers based on trade sizes. Fox River ranked #1 for execution of small orders (< 10,000 shares), #2 for medium orders (10,000 – 50,000 shares) behind only a crossing network provider, and #1 for large orders (> 50,000 shares).
Ron Santella, president of SunGard's Fox River Execution, said, "Achieving first place against arrival price and VWAP benchmarks illustrates our ability to excel in executing our customers' most important equity trades in a challenging market environment. We devote substantial resources to enhancing our core execution engine so that we can continue to deliver on our goal of best in class performance. Placing first in Institutional Investor's 2010 US Equity Trading Ranking is a notable achievement for several reasons: it demonstrates success across a host of important measures; it proves the success of our technique; and combined with prior results it shows consistency of performance over multiple years."
SunGard acquired Fox River Execution in July, expanding its ability to provide customizable algorithmic trading solutions to help customers better access available liquidity in the fragmented equity market, improve execution quality and meet best execution requirements.
