Advanced Equities, Inc. (AEI) provides this report pursuant to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 11Ac1-6 requiring all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order routing practices. The report provides information on the routing of non-directed orders - any order that the customer has not specifically instructed to be routed to a particular venue for execution. For these non-directed orders, AEI has selected the execution venue on behalf of its customers.
The Rule requires that a quarterly report be divided into four sections:
For each section, this report identifies the venues most often selected by AEI, sets forth the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses the material aspects of AEI's relationship with the venues (if applicable).
AEI currently receives no payment for order flow in equities from any source.
