TRANSCRIPT FROM JOE WALD
The marketplace today is highly fragmented and trades in. Very small size. So average trade size on an exchange is probably a hundred shares or less. And the average order size of an institution is, 10,000 shares
Electronic trading and algorithm trading is really the methodology in which institutional clients leverage their access to executing a trade. To put it simply institutions tends to need to buy or sell large amounts of stock.
When you've got a fragmented market where you've got multiple places where you can execute and you also have high-frequency trading trying to, get an edge based on what they're seeing in the marketplace. It becomes an incredible challenge for an institutional client to be able to execute their orders without signalling or creating a lot of market impact or creating information leakage.
Using different quantitative strategies or different benchmarks to be able to execute that in an efficient and positive way for that client to get a great outcome.
An institutional client that's looking to trade electronically to execute a large block it is leveraging a strategy. Depending on what they're looking to do potentially a liquidity sourcing strategy, that's going to, work the order based on a quantitative kind of, arrival price kind of strategy. It's also gonna look to see if there are any large blocks of liquidity that take place in some of the dark pools or some of the venues that are at midpoint.
So what would happen if Axe Capital was a client of Joe’s and was passing the order to his team?
Now we've got this order. We understand the client's objectives. They've chosen a strategy of ours that they're going to use and, it's our job to make sure that the strategy performs optimally and that, we're picking the right venues and the right order types and watching what's happening in the marketplace really closely to make sure that we're executing as best we can and ultimately delivering a great outcome for the client.
