How does CAPIS achieve best execution?
By listening to our clients so that we can maximize the best combination of price, liquidity and speed to exceed their trading demands on an order-by-order basis.

1. Price: CAPIS searches all exchanges, ECNs, crossing networks, market makers to find the best possible price. For NYSE securities, CAPIS utilizes our 5 CAPIS floor employees, a network of independent broker dealers, as well as the latest electronic trading systems to find the best price available.
2. Liquidity: For many institutional investors, finding liquidity in a fragmented market is their most difficult job. At CAPIS, we pride ourselves in our ability to use the most advanced trading tools to search all markets to find displayed and hidden liquidity.
3. Speed: CAPIS' extensive investment in the latest technology provides sub-second response times between receipt of order and acknowledgement to the trader that the order is in the market.
