3. What is the Best Execution?

DUTTFX is committed to ensuring that our clients are treated fairly and receive the best possible price when executing a trade, whatever the product.

Best execution refers to our responsibility to take all enough steps to achieve the best possible result on a consistent basis when executing orders on our clients' behalf. In practice there are a variety of factors that could be considered to achieve best execution. This document forms part of our terms of business. Therefore, by agreeing to our Terms and Conditions, you agree to our Order Execution Policy.

4. Execution Factors

DUTTFX is obliged to seek the best possible result for its client in relation to each trade requested. The best possible result, however, may vary depending on the situation, and this may not always equate to obtaining the best price or the lowest cost. DUTTFX is therefore required to consider and assess the relative importance of the relevant ‘execution factors’ in respect of each class of financial instrument in which it trades.

Price – This is the price at which a transaction is executed. Where the price has varied across the transaction the blended average price should be considered.

Cost - This includes explicit external costs such as exchange or clearing fees, as well as implicit costs such as spreads and slippage. This should be restricted to costs borne by the client and should not include the Firm’s internal costs relating to trading. Speed - This refers to the amount of time that elapses between the trade order and the successful execution of that trade.

Likelihood of execution and settlement - This refers to the Firm's estimation of the probability that the trade order will be successfully completed either in whole or in part.

Size - For large orders or illiquid instruments only a partial fill may be received, and this may vary between venues. Where the whole trade order is unlikely to be filled, the size of the potential fill will increase in importance.

Other Factors: While the above four factors are considered by DUTTFX to be the most important in our best execution policy, there are many other situations which can arise leading to price variations.

a) Some markets which are quoted by DUTTFX are done so outside of normal market hours, and as such are known as ‘grey markets’ in these situations, while every effort is made to keep prices and spreads consistent, this may not always be possible during particular volatile periods or during periods of illiquidity in corresponding markets.

b) Financing charges made by DUTTFX are fair, competitive, and transparent. These may include fees required to roll over open positions and shall be disclosed to you on our website and the trading platform.

c) There may be situations, through third party introductions or through partnership deals with affiliated companies, that a commission or other income generated from your trade is shared with third parties. In such circumstances this will be made abundantly clear to the client by the party concerned and this information is available on request.

The nature or other relevant considerations of the order - This is a broad category that covers any other factor not listed in the regulations that firms may wish to prioritize in order to achieve the best result for their clients. Examples of this may be the need to reduce the market impact of the trade. Where the client has attached instructions to the order these should also be taken into consideration.

Not all these criteria are relevant in each case or relevant to our business model. For example, DUTTFX is the sole execution venue for trade executed by it for its clients.

5. Execution criteria

To determine the relative importance of these factors, DUTTFX will consider: characteristics of the client (that is, whether the order is for a retail or professional client).

● characteristics of the client order.
● characteristics of the financial instruments involved. and
● characteristics of the execution venues being considered.

When executing an order, the best possible result is determined by the total consideration (that is, the price of the investment and any associated costs, such as execution venue fees, clearing and settlement fees, and other third-party fees) for the order.
