Asset classes and markets

Nomura’s TradeSpex team provides TCA across a variety of asset classes globally, for both developed and emerging markets. The underlying framework supports equities, equity index futures, ETFs, warrants and American depositary receipts.

Transaction data

The raw analysis is matched by a global team of salestraders and quants that can provide client consultancy on the relevance of results and suggestions.

Benchmarks

Analysis is both performed at the worked-order level and the execution level against a substantial list of both industry standard and proprietary benchmarks. Specific analysis of the toxicity of dark venues is available, both market wide and on clients’ order flow. On-the-day reports are returned from the TradeSpex Portfolio product.

Reporting options

The type of report varies depending on client requirements but TCA is provided systematically for trading with Nomura and both on-demand and at preagreed times for bespoke third-party reports.

Consultancy services

The post-trade consultancy matches the pre-trade analyses available from TradeSpex. These cover everything from straightforward liquidity analysis to trading segmentation analysis, hedging portfolios, wide ranging portfolio construction optimisations, trading cost estimation (including close impact models) and a suite of risk analytics.
