MERIDIAN EQUITY PARTNERS

SEC Rule 606 Quarterly Report for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2019

posted : April 26,2019 – Optimal Applications, LLC

Meridian sometimes receives payment for order flow in the form of liquidity rebates. In an effort to seek best execution, Meridian routes its client orders to national securities exchanges, alternative trading systems (ATSs) and other venues and market centers (collectively “market centers”). Certain market centers, including many exchanges, provide rebates or charge fees based upon whether routed orders contribute liquidity to that market center or extract liquidity from the market center. Meridian may also receive incremental pricing benefits from market centers based upon the aggregate trading volume generated by Meridian. Such rebates and fees are considered payment for order flow even though the aggregate amount of these rebates may or may not offset or exceed the fees paid to these market centers for removing liquidity during any given time period.
