4 VT VWAP & TWAP Summary VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) & TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) focuses on eliminating your footprint and disorienting gamers by alternating between posting and opportunistic mining of dark and lit liquidity anonymously. Global s opportunistic order placement is driven by proprietary throttles and randomization of order placement to erase any noticeable pattern and diminish gaming. is chart shows the comparison in slippage of Global s VWAP and TWAP strategies versus the Markit peer group s slippage 1 benchmarked against the interval VWAP 2 price. 1 Slippage is calculated by taking the difference of the average price of the algorithm and the calculated interval VWAP from creation of the client order 2 e interval VWAP is calculated by adding up the dollars traded for every transaction and then divide by the total shares traded for a particular period of time. 2nd Quarter Time Series Summary - Arrival Price VWAP &TWAP Time Series Time Series Summary - Arrival Price Markit BPS Interval VWAP BPS -15 GLP 0 Global Markit Peers e Time Series Summary is a weekly Line chart of Global s TWAP and VWAP order slippage versus the Markit Peer Group s slippage benchmarked against VWAP.

5 POV POV Summary POV: Percentage of Volume is a liquidity seeking participation strategy. e algorithm tracks volume and executes the order at the prescribed rate. When block prints occur, the algorithm slowly bleeds the block print into the execution [by temporarily increasing the POV rate] instead of immediately attempting to catch up and impact the market price. is chart shows the comparison in slippage of Global s POV strategies versus the Markit peer group s slippage 1 benchmarked against the interval Arrival price (implementation short fall metric) 2. 1 Slippage is calculated by taking the difference of the average price of the algorithm and the calculated interval Arrival Price from creation of the client order 2 e interval Arrival price (I.S. implementation short fall metric) is calculated taking the difference between the arrival price and the nal execution price for a trade. 2nd Quarter 2015 Interval Arrival Price (IS) -40 Time Series Summary POV Time - Arrival Series Price BPS BPS Markit -20 GLP 0 Global Markit Peers e Time Series Summary is a weekly Line chart of Global s POV order slippage versus the Markit Peer Group s slippage benchmarked against arrival price (IS).

6 Markit uses anonymous contextualized strategy and scenario lters to analyze and verify algo performance. e Markit universe is a collection of trade data from a composite of buy and sell-side clients that provide a peer performance analysis to evaluate price impact and benchmark performance. Markit Universe Generation If a user chooses Momentum and Volatility as their characteristics, one entry will contain orders with Momentum and Volatility. When the user runs a peer analysis through the system, we rst calculate how much of their notional value traded for each entry in the matrix. We then, to aggregate the peer group performance, value weight the peer group benchmark in each entry according to the notional amount traded by the user. For example, if 10% of a user s notional value traded was in Momentum and Volatility orders, we give a 10% weighting to the benchmark performance of the peer group for those types of executions. is result displayed to the user as the peer group performance alongside the user s performance for each benchmark. It is also important to note, that the peer groups we compete against inside the Markit universe, do not have pass-throughs or commission rolled into their performance numbers. Global s numbers do. Global provides a net trading based model which means the price you receive is the true cost of the trade. P Peer Comparison e Markit peer universe consists of like trades created by comparing individual executions over the selected period. Like trades are trades executed in similar stocks during comparative market conditions within the markit universe. is framework allows Markit to create a custom peer universe for each subset of a client s trades based on capitalization, liquidity, momentum, and volatility characteristics. e peer group contains orders, trades from over 300 different brokers including all of the major global sell-side institutions and over 600 distinct buy-side rms. When de ning a peer group comparison, Global Liquidity Partners selects the characteristics for the peer group to include capitalization, trade liquidity, momentum, and volatility when assigning like trades. is selection de nes a matrix, where each entry contains Markit peer group orders and their corresponding performance. Analysis of Global s executions constitutes a combined aggregation by Markit of Global s trades compared with the top 15 executing rms in the Markit universe.
