What We Hope to Accomplish
Within Equity Trading
- Identify and counteract broker-dealer conflicts of interest and bad practices that harm investors, such as misaligned/opaque routing economics, self-reported TCA, cherry-picked data analysis (and questionable data science practices in general).
- Publish all our research and openly collaborate with others in the industry.
- Participate in industry discourse and rulemaking, for example by submitting public comment letters from our perspective as an independent new entrant into institutional equity trading.
Within the Finance Industry Overall
- Be an example of transparency and candor as opposed to the industry standard of talking your own book and taking a black box approach to technology.
- Share our experience building every aspect of this company so that others may benefit from our thought process and avoid our mistakes.
- Rather than profit maximizing, we hope to create far more value than we capture from our clients.
