The TRADE’s annual Execution Management Systems (EMS) Survey, allowing buy-side users to assess and rate their vendors, is now open for submissions.
Buy-side clients are invited to rate their EMS providers across 13 functional categories, alongside the chance to detail what additional capabilities they would like to see from vendors in the future.
The TRADE’s 2023 EMS Survey, which analysed over 500 evaluations, revealed that despite the ongoing challenging market dynamics, vendors received some of the highest scores on record from buy-side respondents.
Overall scores were up by an impressive 14 basis points across nearly all aspects of service, including key areas such as product development and client service, with FlexTrade and Instinet rated as Overall Outperformers.
Top performers in the 2023 Survey were honoured at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading awards last November, which saw TS Imagine pick up two awards: Best User Experience and Best Multi-Asset Capabilities, while Virtu’s Triton was awarded Best Market Access and Best Large-Cap Provider and LSEG TORA won Best Platform Reliability.

The questionnaire is open to respondents on the buy-side across all asset classes and regions.
The results of the Survey will be published in the Q3 edition of The TRADE Magazine, while top performers will be recognised at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading awards, taking place in London on 7 November and New York on 19 November.
