MKM Partners has trade execution abilities in U.S. Equity Markets, U.S. Option Markets and Foreign Equity Markets. At MKM we strive to become an extension of your trading desk. Our clients utilize us to execute trades in a way that preserves their anonymity while we work to achieve “best execution”. For more details on MKM’s Best Execution report card, as scored by FINRA, please contact us.

Our traders understand the “ins and outs” of working a tough listed order. Vast experience allows us to determine when to be on the NYSE Floor and when to keep our client’s orders “upstairs”. Such experience is essential as there is often a thin line between good and bad executions. MKM’s extensive network of independent floor brokers allows our team to provide you (and your order) the attention you deserve.

NASDAQ & OTC
In an environment where ECN's have created more and more liquidity, knowing when to act has become more important than ever. We believe MKM's trading savvy has provided our clients a distinct advantage in this arena. Conversely, in NASDAQ exchange listed securities where liquidity is not apparent, MKM has mastered the ability to act on liquidity as it presents itself while affecting the price as little as possible. We focus on finding liquidity pools for our clients and have the ability to handle small- and mid-cap illiquid transactions. In a volatile and fast-paced market where quick executions and reporting are a must, MKM’s NASDAQ agency securities traders have the proven ability to employ trading strategies quickly - without sacrificing the integrity of the execution.

Pairs & Merger Arbitrage
With years of experience executing complex pairs and arbitrage trades, MKM’s senior management and trading desk understand our client’s orders and as a result can commence executing their strategies in an efficient and timely manner. MKM will monitor the spread, ratio and important technical levels of both sides of a trade to determine when to act and in which stock to act. As with all trades, we constantly strive to provide our clients with fast reports, current market “looks” and any additional relevant trading information.

U.S. Equity Markets Program Trading
MKM Partners prides itself on the reputation it has earned for customer service and quality execution. In addition to single stock trading, MKM has added program trading to our customer services. Included in program trading is the ability to provide customers pre/post trade analytics. The firm also offers a wide variety of Algorithmic trading capabilities including TWAP, VWAP, company buyback (10b-18) and participation strategies.

Agency Option Execution
MKM Partners has trading access to all 5 option exchanges and the capability to execute any customer option strategy. The same care and attention to detail used to execute U.S. equity orders is carried over to option trading where we work on behalf of the customer to obtain the best prices available.

Foreign Equity Markets
MKM Partners has global trading capabilities in 21 countries ranging from Canada to Euro-Zone to Asia. We take the same pride and customer service used in domestic markets to execute on behalf of our customers on foreign exchanges.
