About BestEx Research

BestEx Research is a leading financial technology and research firm specializing in the development of sophisticated execution algorithms and transaction cost modeling tools for multiple asset classes.

The firm provides its services to performance-demanding hedge funds, CTAs, asset managers, and banks through a traditional electronic broker and in a broker-neutral Software as a Service (SaaS) model.

Our mission is to become the leader in automation and measurement of execution across asset classes globally and significantly reduce transaction costs for our clients.

Our cloud-based platform, Algo Management System (AMS), is the first end-to-end algorithmic trading solution for equities, futures, and foreign exchange that delivers an entire ecosystem around execution algorithms, including transaction cost analysis (TCA), an algo customization tool called Strategy Studio, a trading dashboard, and pre-trade analytics in a single platform.

We are challenging the status quo of stale, black-box solutions from banks and offering next-generation execution algorithms that combine performance improvement with transparency and customization.

Our platform is currently live for US equity and global futures trading.

Why work at BestEx Research?

If you want to help investors reduce their trading costs in an incredibly complex market structure and help create and shape an industry-defining product, then this is an excellent opportunity to join an incredibly talented team.

We have almost zero turnover, top-notch clients, zero bureaucracy, and a flat organizational structure.

It is a true meritocracy, set in a collaborative environment, where every employee is working on extraordinarily interesting projects.

Compensation may be in the form of cash compensation or a hybrid cash and equity compensation plan.

Employees at BestEx Research have exposure to much more variety in the projects they complete and opportunities for growth than in similar roles at other firms.
