Statement On Enhancing Order Handling Disclosures, Brett Redfearn, Director, SEC Division Of Trading And Markets, Nov. 2, 2018

Date 02/11/2018

Today, for the first time in eighteen years, the Commission has amended its order handling and routing disclosure rules for brokers. During this time, technology and innovation have transformed the manner in which stock orders are handled, routed, and ultimately executed. In 2000, a large proportion of stock orders were routed to a few, mostly manual, trading centers, and it was rare that such orders would be re-routed to other venues. Today, we have a more complex stock trading environment where computer trading algorithms, smart order routers, and complex order management systems operate in an ecosystem that is comprised of 13 stock exchanges, 47 active equity alternative trading systems, and over 200 over-the-counter market makers. Investors will now have access to new, enhanced, and standardized information about how brokers handle their orders.
