The execution-only trading services of 20 years ago are a distant memory, overtaken by innovative technological-based trade execution. We can't offer advice or guidance as an execution-only broker, but we offer fast low latencyexecution-only trading services. In addition, our local knowledge and understanding of the latest trading technology ensure that we lead the way while others follow.
What is the definition of execution-only trading?
The services offered by an execution-only brokerage are tailored to those who do not require advice or guidance. This type of service attracts the attention of day traders, technical traders and those able to carry out their own investment research. Consequently, prompt trade execution is an integral part of their investment strategy. While services offered by execution-only brokers are often described as "no-frills", there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes.
Trade execution is only part of the process
Execution-only brokers live and die by the speed and accuracy they carry out client instructions. Of course, trade execution should be prompt, but transparency and reporting of trades are just as important. We have a deep-seated knowledge of local markets here at GIS HK, which has proven invaluablefor our customers. We provide low latency (i.e. fast execution) trade execution facilities using the latest trading platform technology. But there is more, a lot more!
Nominee accounts and efficient settlement
While trade execution services grab the headlines, it is also essential that stocks are settled in a timely manner. Here atGIS HK, we hold client investments in our nominee account in electronic form. When held under our nominee account, the underlying client is still recognised as the beneficial owner of the stock. However, the electronic settlement system allows us to settle transactions and deliver funds/stock as quickly as possible. This is an integral part of any trader's investment strategy.
Competitive charges and best execution
Due to a very competitive charging structure, execution-only brokers need to provide a service with best execution front and centre. This allows brokers to maximise trading volumes, commission income, and fund investment in the latest technology.
We appreciate that there will be times when trade executioninstructions need to be passed by telephone, where there may be liquidity issues or fast-moving markets. Our commitment to best execution is reflected in our dedicated trading desk, open across global trading hours. Whether looking at equities, fixed income, foreign exchange or derivatives, we are here to help.
