TZBE Best Execution & TCA Solution
TZBE is eflow’s Best Execution software and Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) tool. With the ever-increasing variety of trading platforms, instruments and asset classes, using manual processes to satisfy your Best Execution obligations is no longer a viable option. The TZBE platform offers your firm a configurable best execution solution to comply with this legislation quickly, efficiently and accurately.
Demonstrate compliance with Best Execution legislation while uncovering commercial insights
The ability of a firm to demonstrate that it’s acting in the best interests of clients is a core responsibility of any compliance team. TZBE enables you to meet these obligations by automating best execution monitoring, enriching trade data with market information curated from over 250 sources, and generating highly detailed TCA reports.
Not only that, TZBE can also generate commercial insights by highlighting how your trading strategy can be executed more effectively.
How TZBE adds value to your regulatory strategy
TZBE enables financial institutions to satisfy their regulatory obligations under Best Execution legislation, such as MiFID II in Europe and FINRA Rule 5310 in the US. Given the scale and variety of trading activity undertaken by many firms, a digital solution is essential to ingest and analyse the multiple data points that need to be monitored to ensure compliance.
TZBE’s highly customisable structure means that it can scale and flex with your business requirements. Your platform will be capable of ingesting, testing and reporting on all major instrument types and asset classes, while automatically running industry benchmarking tests including VWAP, Time, Venue, Implementation Shortfall/Slippage, and Best Bid/Ask.
The platform features highly configurable parameters that can be customised and tested to mirror your trading strategy, automatically account for variables, and reduce false positives. Your chosen reports can also be set based on a number of reference and market data metrics such as volatility and instrument liquidity. Should a trade deviate from expected parameters, it will be flagged for further analysis, enabling the production of detailed TCA reports that highlight areas requiring attention. TZBE also includes MiFID II-compliant data archiving and indexing as standard to ensure that you are one step ahead of your regulatory obligations.
