Institutional investors, investment funds and their sponsors are always on the look out for ways to actively manage their operative costs. With stricter transparency requirements and higher performance expectations, clients are devoting ever greater attention to the transaction costs resulting from trading activities. Any savings that can be made in this area help to preserve the assets and enhance the overall performance.
Commission recapture is a form of institutional discount brokerage that rebates broker fees and thus reduces transaction costs for the investor or fund.
