Rule 606(a)
Pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 606, requiring all brokerage firms to make available to the public quarterly reports about their order routing practices.
Rule 606 requires all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports, broken down by calendar month, containing certain required statistical information regarding the routing of held, non-directed customer orders in Regulation NMS stocks, as well as both held and not held, non-directed customer orders in listed options with a market value of less than $50,000. Sage is publishing such quarterly reports in accordance with Rule 606(a), and will keep the report publicly available for a period of three 3 years.
The reports contain a section for Regulation NMS stocks that were included in the S&P 500 Index as of the first day of the calendar quarter, a section for other Non-S&P 500 stocks when applicable, and a section for listed options, when applicable. For each section, the report identifies the venues where Sage routed the relevant orders and, for each venue, the required statistical information broken down by order type (such as market order, marketable limit order, non-marketable limit order and other orders). Each section of the report also contains information regarding the material aspects of Sage’s relationship, if any, with each venue. If a section is blank it means SageTrader had not applicable order activity to report.
While Sage has prepared and reviewed the information contained within these reports, the data has not been audited and there is a chance it may contain errors.
