Best Execution Practices

Last Updated: September, 2025

This Best Execution Policy outlines how METRA ensures client orders are executed fairly, efficiently, and with optimal outcomes across liquidity venues and trading channels.

1. Execution Objectives

  • Obtain the best possible result for clients considering price, cost, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, and market impact.
  • Apply consistent execution quality controls across all supported asset types and order flows.

2. Order Handling Standards

  • Process client orders promptly, fairly and in sequence unless otherwise justified.
  • Avoid improper aggregation or allocation of orders that could disadvantage clients.
  • Ensure accurate capture, routing and settlement of executed trades.

3. Liquidity Venues & Routing

  • Select liquidity venues based on reliability, transparency, depth and historical execution quality.
  • Design routing logic to reduce slippage and optimise execution efficiency.
  • Periodically review venue performance and adjust routing where required.

4. Monitoring & Oversight

  • Monitor execution quality using quantitative metrics such as slippage, fill rates and latency.
  • Maintain internal audit trails, exception logging and escalation procedures for sub‑optimal execution.
  • Report material issues to senior management and, where required, to regulators.

5. Client Disclosures

  • Provide clients with clear information on the execution approach, order types and any material limitations.
  • Notify clients of material changes to the Best Execution Policy.
  • Make this summary available on the METRA website alongside other key regulatory documents.
