Bundled research/execution represents a conflict of interest between fund managers and investors. Using brokerage incurred on trade execution to pay brokers for ideas is often not acting in the best interests of investors, particularly when a substantially better price could be obtained by trading the same parcel with another broker or on an alternative trading venue. There is no reason for a fund to pay 20% more for the same volume of research, simply because the market is up 20% yoy. Good to see UK regulator pushing radical reform on this front. Time for ASIC to follow suit. Transparency and accountability needed in terms of the way Australian fund managers allocate the brokerage they incur on behalf of underlying investors.
