We are required to take all sufficient steps to achieve the best possible result on a consistent basis when we execute orders on our clients’ behalf, and this is known as best execution.
In line with MiFID II, in order to provide transparency and allow evaluation of our execution practices, we will publish execution data on this page.
We provide information on the execution venues we relied on for each of our products and detail how we assess the quality of execution provided to clients.
When you spread bet or trade CFDs with CMC Markets, you are contracting with us and we act as the sole execution venue.
When you use our Prime FX or CFD Direct services, we are still the execution venue. However, we directly replicate your trade in the underlying market, through our liquidity providers.
CMC deals as principal in all cases and does not operate an order book in which clients' orders could provide or take liquidity, so we do not consider the distinction between passive and aggressive orders to be relevant to CMC's reporting.
