Right Fit – What defines a successful outsourced trading partnership
Choosing the right outsourced trading partner starts with knowing what you need. This episode explores how firms should evaluate outsourced trading providers, from defining whether they need full-service or supplemental support, to distinguishing true outsourced trading from simple execution.
Key criteria include flexibility, regional and asset class coverage, trader experience, and – critically – alignment of interests. A low trader-to-client ratio, agency-only operation, and buy-side mindset are hallmarks of a provider built around client outcomes.
Peer references matter too: hearing from firms who think like you is often the most valuable due diligence of all.
