Services

OCM can execute cash equity trades throughout the world. The firm has extensive market coverage transacting in both liquid and illiquid stocks at competitive prices.

Through the expertise of our staff OCM can facilitate many types of order including worked, limit, contingent and multi-faceted.

Cash Equities

Client orders are routed directly to an exchange. OCM acts only as an execution broker and therefore client trading strategies are not revealed.

Order size is limited by market liquidity, not by the capacity of human traders to place orders. Automating transactions allows investors to pursue strategies in larger volumes with much less market impact.

Automation of transactions avoids errors caused by human lapses, lack of concentration or misjudgement. OCM's algorithms are capable of executing hundreds of investment decisions per second.

Algorithmic and Automated Execution

OCM has a comprehensive suite of proprietary algorithms that allow full automation of orders, enabling clients to achieve greater efficiency in their trading strategies. Clients benefit from better price execution as a direct result of the superior speed of computers over manual trades.

Research Commission Share Agreements

OCM, in contrast with integrated brokers, does not require its clients to pay for any services they do not specifically request.

OCM provides clarity of execution costs, does not support legacy systems and is Mifid-compliant. With an unbundled approach and being fully independent, OCM can enter into Commission Share Agreements (CSAs) with independent research houses.

Settlement

Settlement risk at OCM is kept to a minimum by following a strict delivery versus payment settlement (DVP) settlement policy.

OCM has a full Model B clearing agreement with Pershing Securities Ltd, part of the Bank of New York Securities Group.
