Roth MKM is committed to becoming an extension of your trading desk by taking a client centric approach for the structure of the trading desk. The firm’s dedicated traders have, on average, over 15 years of trading experience and industry knowledge, and they utilize a high touch trading approach aimed directly to benefit our customers by understanding the method and urgency of how each individual customer trades. The firm has partnered with a variety of different vendors to access both domestic and international markets in order to ensure all available liquidity can be captured at any given time. Roth MKM is fully transparent on how orders are executed and to which venue orders are routed. The Roth MKM team model ensures customers feel confident they have joined a partnership to share market information and obtain the best execution.
Roth MKM has trading access to all U.S. Listed Options Exchanges. Whether trading customer’s orders electronically or using the trading desk’s vast liquidity relationships, Roth MKM has the capability to successfully execute any customer’s options strategy and serve as an advisor to portfolio hedging, increasing directional exposure, or offering insight into the current volatility environment with our dedicated option strategist. Roth MKM's Options Trading Desk works on behalf of the customer to obtain the best prices and liquidity for every order.
Roth MKM is committed to the risk arbitrage and event driven space. The firm has a dedicated team of professionals encompassing research, sales, and trading. In addition to executing pairs, spreads, or ratio trades with algorithms, the firm prides itself on the execution capabilities of our individual traders to execute orders discreetly and with obtaining the best price.
Roth MKM is differentiated in the portfolio trading space by being able to combine quantitative trading techniques and automated electronic trading tools with the traditional sales and trading relationships. We have forged together the traditional cross trading infrastructure with a highly quantitative platform, in order to minimize market impact and execution costs. Roth MKM utilizes the quantitative platform to disseminate the order flow through minimal impact zones, i.e., internal relationship crosses, controlled dark pools, crossing networks and primary exchanges. The objective of the trade is to minimize impact costs and outperform the trade strike benchmark target. We provide a detailed pre-trade analysis report identifying potential impact costs on a portfolio and individual name basis. In addition, we provide a detailed post-trade analysis report highlighting the execution success versus the pre-trade estimates on a variety of benchmarks.
The universe of Credit and High Yield instruments is massive, with a general lack of visibility and many illiquid or mispriced securities. Roth MKM can be a vehicle of liquidity and discovery in this environment. Roth MKM brokers between funds and interdealers anonymously. All markets will be live and tradeable.
