نویسندگان: Erik Banks (auth.)
خلاصه: Pricing and execution are essential ingredients of every financial product and market. In order to create a viable and enduring market, participants must derive some form of economic benefit, or interest will soon wane. Equally, for a transaction to be of use, it must actually be executed – it is pointless to submit orders that go unfilled or are rerouted so often that the speed advantages of the marketplace are lost. The same applies within the dark pool sector, where it is critical for clients to derive cost savings and venues to generate revenues, and for orders to be filled efficiently. In this chapter, we will explore several essential topics related to the pricing process, focusing on pricing costs and benefits, price discovery, price derivation, and dark pool pricing impact. This will be followed by some of the execution issues that are specific to the dark sector, including execution rates, fungibility, fragmentation, information leakage, and adverse selection/information asymmetries. We will build on these practical concepts in the next chapter, when we discuss the nature of trading strategies that are routinely used to exploit market opportunities.
