FX Transaction Cost Analysis Providers: Brave New World!
The buy-side community's growing acceptance of FX TCA promises a brave new world.
Boston, May 7, 2014 – Transaction cost analysis is gradually evolving from a post-trade compliance obligation to a real-time investment decision-making tool, but it remains far from perfect. Even so, FX TCA providers have aggressively moved forward over the last few years. To ensure continued progress and refine their investment decision-making process, buy-side firms must continue to adopt these solutions.
