SEC-Required
Report on Routing of Customer Orders
For Quarter Ending June 30, 2007
Bernard
L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“Madoff”) has prepared this report
pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule requiring
all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their
order routing practices.
The
statistical data provided pursuant to SEC Rule 605 consists of “covered
orders” and is a subset of Madoff’s total volume.
Rule
605’s definition of "covered order" specifically excludes certain
types of orders. The following are some examples of the types of orders
that are excluded from the rule and as such not included in the statistical
data provided.
- The
Special Handling Exclusion: excludes discretionary orders and
average priced orders.
- Manually
Received Orders: orders received otherwise than through automated
systems are excluded
- Block
Orders: orders with a size of 10,000 shares or greater are excluded
- Orders
Received Outside of Regular Trading Hours: only those orders that
are received during regular trading hours and at a time when a Consolidated
BBO is being disseminated are included
Only
certain types of orders are included in the information provided pursuant
to SEC Rule 606
The
report provided pursuant to Rule 606 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.
Rule 606’s definition of "customer order" specifically excludes certain
types of orders. The following are some examples of the types of orders
that are excluded from the Rule and as such not included in the information
provided.
- Large
Order Exclusion: Orders having a market
value of at least $200,000 for equity orders and $50,000 for options
orders are excluded.
- Orders received
in over-the-counter ("OTC") options are excluded.
- Orders received
in equities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the NASD
are excluded.
- Orders Received
from Other Broker-Dealers or Foreign Banks Acting as Broker-Dealers
are excluded.
The
report is divided into four sections: one for securities listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and reported as a Network A eligible security;
one for securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market; one for securities
listed on the American Stock Exchange or regional exchanges and reported
as a Network B eligible security; and one for exchange-listed options.
For each section, this report identifies the venues most often selected
by Madoff, sets forth the percentage of various types of orders routed
to the venues,
and discusses the material aspects of Madoff's relationship with the venues.
For the non-directed orders included in this report, Madoff has selected
the execution venue on behalf of its customers.
Riskless
Principal Orders: When Madoff receives a non-directed
order, and then executes the order as riskless principal based on a contemporaneous
order execution at another venue, Madoff will be identified
as the execution venue under SEC Rule 606.
