Business Wire
Posted: 2008-05-13 08:00:00

Instinet, a global securities firm and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nomura Holdings, Inc., today announced that it has been ranked first among brokers1 for execution quality in overall trading of both NASDAQ-listed and NYSE/regional-listed stocks in 2007, according to Investment Technology Groups Plexus BrokerEDGE MonitorTM survey, which covered the four quarters through 4Q07.

Altogether Instinet ranked first in 18 of Plexus 28 measurement categories, including core areas such as block trades and trades in small-cap stocks. This was more than double the number of first-place rankings of any competitor (see tables below).

More of the listed market is being executed electronically, and that aligns with Instinets strengths, noted Michael Plunkett, President of Instinet, LLC. Our high-speed platform, broad connectivity and agency trading model is delivering new value to our clients in the listed market as it has always done in the OTC market.
