Cantor Fitzgerald returns for its second appearance in our Outsourced Trading Survey with a standout performance – improving on its rating last year while comfortably outscoring the global average. Most importantly, the firm delivers on service areas which its clients prioritise the most. Cantor’ s respondents ranked Execution and Client Service & Relationship Management as their top preferences with both scores easily outperforming the global average. When it comes to the client profile breakdown, around 46 % of respondents manage assets between $ 0- $ 250 million, with 15 % reporting an AUM of $ 1billion- $ 100 billion. It is the latter category which rates the provider at an impressive 6.94. Every category that the provider offers is rated as Very Good, with Client Services( 6.92) having a near perfect score, in part due to the provider’ s availability and responsiveness. In fact, it comes as little surprise that 92 % rate Cantor as Excellent when it comes to this

Operations and Post-Trade( 6.08) is also worth putting under the spotlight this year.
