1. Best Execution Obligation
When executing orders, the Company has a general duty to act fairly, honestly and professionally under any circumstances considering the client’s best interest. The Company owes a fiduciary duty to clients to obtain the best execution of their brokerage transactions. Failure by the Company to fulfill its duty to clients in obtaining the best execution may have significant regulatory consequences. The Company’s policies are modeled after the guidelines articulated by the regulators; specifically, it believes that, to a significant degree, best execution is a qualitative concept. In deciding what constitutes best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible commission cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution. In making this determination, the Company’s policy is to consider the full range of the broker’s services, including without limitation the value of research provided, execution capabilities, commission rate, financial responsibility, administrative resources and responsiveness.
Execution by brokers: All trades are electronic, fully regulated and transparent.
The Company shall not execute any investment transaction if, to its knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, it would result in a breach of any restrictions provided under the laws of Mauritius.
The Company shall take all reasonable steps to determine whether a proposed investment transaction is to be made by or on behalf of a foreign investor

03. Execution Venues
This Trading Policy sets out the venues on which we may transact your order. We will act as the sole execution venue for all client orders which are executed on an ‘Over the Counter’ (OTC) basis. We have identified those venues on which we will most regularly seek to execute your orders, as well as venues that we believe offer the best prospects for achieving the best possible results for you, taking into account the factors detailed below.
We are able to transact trades on your behalf via the following execution venues:
- Our liquidity providers;
- Regulated markets;
- Where appropriate our customer base in the over the counter (OTC) markets;
- Multilateral trading facilities operated by a third party;
- Systematic internalizers.
When selecting the venue on which to transact trades we will take reasonable measures to ensure that the selected venue obtains the best possible trading result for our clients, subject to the following factors:
- In the markets in which we operate, we can only give clients visibility to prices that have been communicated to us;
- We will provide details of all tradable bids and offers (via the platform and subject to the other matters referred to below);
- Time availability of prices – in many markets there are lulls and spikes in trading as negotiations align trading interests at different times and different parts of the curve, accordingly the “last traded” price may not always be available or act as a reliable indicator of current price;
- We cannot allow clients to trade in a market unless we are reasonably satisfied that the client (via an agent or otherwise) is capable of settling the relevant trade; and
- Fees may vary between clients, based on agreements and levels of activity.
04. Trade Errors
A trade error occurs when there is a deviation from the general trading practices involving transactions and settlements of trades for a client’s account. Part of the Company’s fiduciary obligation is to identify and correct these errors as soon as discovered. It has been accepted in the industry to recognize the following as trade errors:
- A sell is executed as a buy;
- The over/under allocation of a security i.e., a coma is placed in the wrong place or an additional 0 is added (1,000 turns into 10,000);
- An incorrect ticket symbol (C instead of S)
- Trade takes place in an incorrect account number;
- A purchase or sale order fails to be executed
- Limit order is executed at market price;
- Block trades are allocated inaccurately;
- Client account does not have the funds to settle the transaction;
- The purchase or sale of securities is transacted in violation of the client’s investment profile or guidelines;
- The purchase or sale of securities for non-discretionary clients are executed prior to or without receiving client consent, or without proper documented authorization.
The following types of errors will not be deemed to be a trade error as defined by your RIA:
- An incorrect trade that was caught prior to settlement thereby not having a negative impact on your client;
- A trade that was improperly documented;
- The rewriting of tickets that describe or correct improperly executed transactions;
- Errors that are made by unaffiliated third parties (broker/dealer, custodian, etc.). Although keep in mind, as a fiduciary, you are responsible to review the trades and ensure that third party errors are favorably resolved;
The Company’s policy is to ensure that clients are never responsible for a trade error. If the Company is responsible for the error, it will correct the error the same day if possible. If a third party is responsible, the Company will oversee the resolution. Any loss will be reimbursed to the client in the form of a statement credit or check written by the Company, if the custodian or broker/dealer does not cover it under the deminimis.
All trade errors must be timely addressed to the Compliance Officer (‘CO’) once discovered. The CO should document when the trade error and whether the Company is responsible. If responsible, the Company must then look to correct the error immediately, following fiduciary standards acting in the client’s best interest. Any client losses must be reimbursed by the Company for the full amount of the loss, including the reimbursement of the transaction fees. If there is a profit resulting from the error:
- The Company may elect to allow the client to retain the profit;
- The custodian of broker/dealer may retain the profit; or
- It is best practice to hold the profits in a Company trade error account in accordance with the Company’s accounting standards and donated to charity annually.
All payments made to clients will be properly documented.
05. Trade Error File
The Company will maintain a trade error log. All trade errors will be properly documented and maintained by the CO.
06. Market Execution
Market execution is when an order is executed at the best price available directly to the markets, where global banks and financial institutions act as liquidity providers. Orders are executed without any dealing desk manipulation or intervention. Market orders do not experience re-quotes and are executed on a “fill or kill” basis. By using leading broker technologies, traders experience low latency, fast execution and accurate order filling that are beneficial for high frequency traders and scalpers.
07. Use of Technologies to Reduce Latency
Fast order execution is critical to ensure that orders are filled accurately, however, latency can cause delays and lead to orders being filled at the next available price (slippage). The Company tackles latency head on by using fast platform to execute orders with superior, fast and low latency order execution for every trader.
08. Slippage
When trading market execution there are no re-quotes and no orders are rejected, however normal latency in the markets can lead to orders being executed at the next available price (slippage). Slippage is often referred to as negative, but in fact slippage can also be positive for the trader as they experience price improvement with best execution policies.
When exiting an order or when your stop loss/take profit is attempting to be filled, rapid market movements could mean that the price you want to fill at is not available to trade in the market (it past already or didn’t exist in the market) and the order is filled at the next available price. Slippage is more likely during volatile market conditions when quoted prices are fluctuating rapidly.
To increase your execution speeds and lower latency, the Company offers a free Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting facility that allows clients to trade rapidly and efficiently.
09. Trading Strategies
Pre- and Post-Trade transparency is an important factor for all trading strategies and all clients should assess any Broker conflicts of interests, transparency, conditions and execution philosophies. At the Company, we support high frequency trading, profitable expert advisors and specialist strategies by offering transparent and beneficial trading rules such as no minimum market distance limits, core spreads and minimum market increments to deliver the best environment we can for you to trade successfully.
