  5. Financial Intermediaries • Broker • A pure middleman who acts as agents for investors in the purchase or sale of securities • Their function is to match buyers with sellers for which they are paid a commission • There are typically two types of brokers • Full service • Higher commissions • Proprietary research • Discount Broker • Lower commissions • Simply offer execution service

  6. Financial Intermediaries • Dealer or Market-Maker • They link buyers with sellers by holding inventories of securities • Stand ready to buy or sell securities at given prices • Make their money through the spread between their bid (buy) and offer (sell) price • Provide liquidity into the market • Especially important for smaller stocks

  7. Order Driven Market • In this market buy and sell orders of public participants who are the holders of the securities establish the prices at which other public participants trade. • Continuous market – a trade can be made at any moment in time when a buy and sell order meet • Call auction – orders are batched together for simultaneous execution. • For smaller companies and in times of market stress there are no natural providers of liquidity in the market

  8. Market Order • Market Order – This order is to be executed at the best possible price available in the market • The positive is that you are filled no matter what • The negative is that in a fast moving market or illiquid market you will be filled at whatever price is available.

  9. Conditional Orders

  10. Order Qualifiers • Day only • must be executed today • Good until Cancelled • will stay valid until it is executed or cancelled • Fill or Kill • this will be cancelled if it is not immediately filled completely • Intermediate or Cancel • this will be cancelled immediately but allows partial fill.

  13. Quote Driven Dealer Market

  14. Hybrid Markets • Many equity markets are a combination of an order driven market and a quote driven market. • The New York Stock Exchange is primarily a continuous auction order driven system but • At the open and close and after any stop in trading it operates a call auction. • Specialists enhance the liquidity by the market-making to maintain a fair market • There are dealers who provide capital to execute block trades (large size).

  16. Nasdaq • Introduced in 1971 • The worlds first electronic exchange • Originally a bulletin board that did not connect buyers with sellers but simply gave better price transparency • Primarily a dealer system where • Multiple dealers provide quotes and make trades • In 2002 introduced Super Montage • An order based system

  18. Iceberg Order • This is a limit order trade for which only a portion is shown to the order book at any given time. • Only the top of the order appears in the order book at any given time. • Once this portion is filled then a new limit order will appear in the order book for this same amount until the entire order is filled.

  19. Crossing Network • A network that matches buyers and sellers of larger sizes using prices from elsewhere • Dark Pools • Private crossing networks • Allows for anonymous trading • Gives access to large liquidity pools that do not want to have their positions known publically • Trade reporting is delayed as long as possible to minimize market impact.

  20. Explicit Costs of Trading • Commissions – generally these are completely negotiable and will depend on the size of your trade and your relationship with your broker. • Custodial Fees – These are the costs associated with holding a stock position. They would generally pay for dividend handling, corporate action handling, etc. • Soft Dollars – These are costs for items such as research embedded in the commissions • Institutional clients will often negotiate with a broker exchanging a percentage of their order flow for free access to research • SEC is now strict about what can be bought with soft dollars – for example, one cannot receive free vacations.

  21. Implicit Costs of Trading • Impact Costs – These are the costs associated with completing a large order. If your trade is large relative to normal market size then it can move the market • Timing Costs – These are the costs associated with the delay between when you instruct a broker to execute a trade and when the trade actually completes • Opportunity Costs – In equity markets these are the costs associated with trades that do not complete due to the market moving against the trade during the execution of the trade
