Top trading teams named by Institutional Investor

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 (Bernama) – More than 12,000 votes were cast by some of the region’s most influential investors to name this year’s top electronic, high-touch and portfolio trading teams, along with the best firms providing local market colour to the buy-side, as demonstrated in Institutional Investor's  All-Asia Trading Team survey.

Morgan Stanley/Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co. was the top choice among buy-siders with a first place position for pan-Asia electronic trading, high-touch trading and local market colour, a statement said.

UBS came in second and Goldman Sachs third for pan-Asia electronic trading and high-touch Trading. In pan-Asia local market colour, UBS also placed second, while Citi secured third place.

Buy-side cash equity traders were surveyed about their top high-touch, electronic and local market colour providers across seven defined regions: Australia/New Zealand, China/Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Developing Trading Markets and Frontier Trading Markets. No specific region was asked for in portfolio trading.

Institutional Investor  surveyed 400 heads of trading and traders across 345 buy-side firms in Asia. More than 33 per cent of voting firms paid US$5 million (US$1 = RM4.14) or more in commissions to the Street, and nearly 30 per cent of those firms managed $1 billion or more in assets in their portfolios.

The survey report includes in-depth data for 25 attributes across high-touch, electronic and portfolio trading, as well as local market colour, providing trade execution providers a lense into how they fared against their peers and helping them understand their performance across different funds, geographies and wallet sizes.
