Execution Venues and Quality of Execution

We are required to take all sufficient steps to achieve the best possible result on a consistent basis when we execute orders on our clients’ behalf. This is referred to as “best execution”.

Our regulatory obligations under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) require us to publish information about the quality of our order execution and the execution venues we use.

You can find out more about MiFID II and the associated implementing standards in the documents below.

Infinox provides Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on an “over the counter” (OTC) basis. This means that when you trade CFDs with Infinox, you are contracting with us and we always act as the sole execution venue. This applies regardless of whether we hedge your trade with a third party in order to manage our risk. In the context of its regulatory obligations to publish information about the quality of our order execution and the execution venues we use, Infinox meets the definition of “other liquidity provider”.

Where the requirement is relevant to the way our business operates, MiFID II requires us to publish the data in a prescribed format. You can access this data via the tables below.

Execution Venues

MiFID II requires us to publish on an annual basis information relating to the top five execution venues that we relied on when you traded CFDs with us. It is important to note that when you trade CFDs with Infinox, you are contracting with us and we act as the sole execution venue.

Passive orders are those which took liquidity. Aggressive orders are those which provided liquidity. Directed orders do not apply to the way in which Infinox operates as it is the sole execution venue.
