Speaker:
Larry Harris, Ph.D, CFA

Chair: Charlotte Chamberlain
A Portfolio Management Sponsored Group Event
Exchanges now use convoluted systems for pricing their services. Maker-taker and taker-maker exchange pricing systems affect the routing of orders by brokers who do not pass through exchange access fees and liquidity rebates to their clients. Limit orders often are sent to the markets where they will trade last. The problem particularly affects retail orders and institutional orders generated by buy-side algorithms that many institutional traders use. The introduction of taker-maker exchanges has effectively split the one-cent tick in two, which has halved the cost of front-running standing orders.
