Crossing trades between clients

Just to confirm, is it ok to cross trades between clients (as long as you are not disadvantaging one client over another of course)? This is acceptable by the Standards right? Thanks.

yes

This is ok, and might even be preferred if it keeps transaction costs down.

crossing between clients is how firms make a lot of money as well…they pick up the commissions on both sides of the trade. As long as you’re doing it in the interests of both clients (ie in line with their IPS) then it’s absolutly fine.
