Summary

Abstract

Transaction cost analysis (TCA) solutions, available since the 1980s, have become more than postmortem tools for determining how an order fared compared with other executions. Plan sponsors were the first to use TCA (to comply with ERISA), but investment managers and sell-side firms also need TCA as use of electronic markets, direct market access, and trading algorithms increases. Pretrade analysis, in-process monitoring, and post-trade forensics will improve their trading efficiency and help them realize best execution. This TowerGroup Research Note looks at how the buy side, the sell side, and third-party vendors are reacting to TCA scrutiny and examines optimal solutions.
