About BestEx Research BestEx Research is a financial technology and research firm specializing in building sophisticated execution algorithms and transaction cost modeling tools servicing multiple asset classes. The firm provides high-performance algorithmic execution services to hedge funds, CTAs, asset managers, and banks through a traditional electronic broker and in a broker-neutral Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Its cloud-based platform, Algo Management System (AMS), is the first end-to-end algorithmic trading solution for equities and futures that delivers an entire ecosystem around execution algorithms, including transaction cost analysis (TCA), an algorithm customization tool called Strategy Studio, a trading dashboard, and pre-trade analytics in a single platform.

The platform is currently live for U.S., Europe, and Canadian equities and global futures trading. BestEx Research is disrupting a $100 billion industry by challenging the status quo of stale, black-box solutions from banks and offering next-generation execution algorithms that combine performance improvement with transparency and customization. BestEx Research uses leading-edge technology to support its low-latency, highly scalable research and trading systems, with its backend in C++, research libraries in C++/Python and R, and web-based technologies for delivering its front-end platforms.

BestEx Research's mission is to become the leader in automation and measurement of execution across asset classes globally and significantly reduce transaction costs for our clients. Visit for more information about our mission, products, research, and services.
