SEC Rule 606 – Order Routing
Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. (BFE) introduces transactions on a fully disclosed basis to our clearing firm, Pershing LLC. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 606 requires brokerage firms to provide quarterly reports disclosing order-routing practices. These reports provide information on the routing of “non-directed orders,” any order that the customer has not specifically instructed to be routed to a particular venue for execution. For these non-directed orders, our clearing firm has selected the execution venue.
Reports are divided into three sections:
- S&P 500 Stocks
- Non-S&P 500 Stocks
- Options Contracts
Each section identifies the venues most often selected by our clearing firm and lists the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues. BFE directs 100% of its equity and option order flow to our clearing firm for routing and execution. BFE does not receive compensation for directing order flow to Pershing.
