Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner, Inc. (NTB) has prepared this report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 606 (formerly Rule 11Ac1-6) requiring all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order routing practices. The report 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. For these non-directed orders, NTB has selected the execution venue on behalf of its customers.
The Rule requires that a quarterly report be divided into four sections:
1. Covered securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (NYSE)
and reported as Network A eligible securities;
2. Covered securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.;
3. Covered securities listed on the American Stock Exchange LLC (AMEX)
or any of the regional stock exchanges and reported as Network B eligible securities;
4. Exchange-listed options.
For each section, this report identifies the venues most often selected by
NTB, sets forth
the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses
the material
aspects of NTBs relationship with the venues (if applicable).
