About BestEx Research

BestEx Research is a financial technology and research firm specializing in building sophisticated execution algorithms and transaction cost modeling tools servicing multiple asset classes. The firm provides high-performance algorithmic execution services to hedge funds, CTAs, asset managers, and banks through a traditional electronic broker and in a broker-neutral Software as a Service (SaaS) model.

Its cloud-based platform, Algo Management System (AMS), is the first end-to-end algorithmic trading solution for equities and futures that delivers an entire ecosystem around execution algorithms, including transaction cost analysis (TCA), an algorithm customization tool called Strategy Studio, a trading dashboard, and pre-trade analytics in a single platform.
