At MarketMates (“MarketMates,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we prioritise our clients’ interests and strive to deliver the best possible results when executing orders.

  1. Acting in our clients’ best interests

Execution Factors

When executing orders, we consider the following factors to achieve the best possible outcome:

  1. Price: sourced from independent third-party providers
  2. Speed and Likelihood of Execution: subject to liquidity, market conditions, software, hardware, and telecom/data line use
  3. Quantity: minimum and maximum quantities set based on market conditions and firm policy
  4. Order Size and Nature: considering the characteristics of the financial instrument and market conditions

Execution Criteria

When determining the relative importance of the execution factors, we consider the following criteria:

  1. Client characteristics
  2. Order characteristics
  3. Financial instrument characteristics

Dealing with Client Orders

Subject to market conditions, orders are executed at the best available price
