One of the most accurate and independent methods by which we can measure our progress is for us to sponsor, support and analyse the feedback obtained from this annual survey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn particular, UBS has leveraged this feedback to help develop our 2010 client objectives \u2013 that of delivering post trade service excellence. The feedback and rankings are taken seriously both within Operations, and also by our trading &amp; sales partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProviding superior services and support for our Members is why we\u2019ve been voted number one for overall performance in US Equities Operations for the second year in a row, and we very much appreciate this recognition,\u201d said Seth Merrin, Founder and CEO of Liquidnet. \u201cWe continuously strive to deliver the best value and experience for our Members throughout the entire trading process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A key factor of the survey results this year was the increase in usage of technology by the buy-side, particularly implementation of OMGEO CTM for both Equities and Fixed Income.\u00a0 This has contributed to the rise in Straight Through Processing (STP) particularly in Electronic Trade Matching which in turn has reduced fails and re-work in the back-office.<\/p>\n<p>Carsten Eckhardt, Managing Director, Global Business Services at Deutsche Bank added, &#8220;Deutsche Bank has made a commitment to improving its operational processes in order to provide exceptional service to its clients. The McLagan Z\/Yen survey is key in enabling us to assess the extent to which we have achieved these goals and in highlighting areas of focus for further improvement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Editing by Alex Akesson<br \/>\nFor <a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
