simultaneously hide and seek liquidity is the culprit.
"Fragmentation is by far the most challenging aspect of the

+ NEW YORK----As
the financial markets ' hide-and-go-seek liquidity game continues, the
big question beyond 2005 will be: who will win, who will prosper and
who will be bypassed? According to TABB Group's second annual study on
institutional equity trading, "Institutional Equity Trading in America
2005: a Buy-side Perspective", which is being released today, the next
two years will be critical in establishing leaders and losers.

Larger firms over the next two years will direct 12% of their
order flow away from FIX and 4% away from the phone. McClatchy's

At its center is fragmentation.
Following up on the widely read and heavily cited 2004 report,
which documented how long-term institutional trading changes made
equity trading in America a more efficient process, equity traders no
longer blame their problems today on external forces like exchanges
and brokers. While
broker algorithms have helped resolve some buy-side challenges , such
as market impact and information leakage, many in the marketplace
blame transparency, fragmentation and small trade size on external
forces -- specialists, market makers, decimalization and the SEC . At the
same time, 15% more order flow will move away from traditional
sales-trading channels to no- and low-touch channels.

All large firms, 80% of medium firms and 57% of smaller firms
used algorithms.

The five top algorithm leaders weighted by AUM include CSFB ,

"It's too early to pick winners but we can begin to handicap the
contestants ," says Larry Tabb, founder and CEO at TABB Group. "But will it get better or
will it get worse? Will algorithms, crossing, dark books and
sophisticated execution management platforms solve the problem or will
these new tools just act to fragment and segment liquidity as before?"
TABB Group expects that as advanced trading technology use grows,
transparency and small trade size will become a larger problem. SACRAMENTO, Calif.4 million and Sunday circulation of 1.5 1,219.2%

The report is based on interviews with 53 head and senior traders

than $10 billion, and by investment style, including fundamental,
quantitative and a mix of both."
TABB Group believes fragmentation and the inability to find size
are due to higher usage and greater awareness of alternative trading
technologies like direct market access (DMA) and algorithms. "These tools help buy-side traders
reduce costs, gain efficiency and manage a larger number of orders,
but they also make their job more difficult as they speed up the
market, reduce trade size and force traders to hide more liquidity.1%

Resolving these issues requires developing a comprehensive process
to analyze and manage order flow, beginning at the portfolio manager
level, up to development of an integrated execution management
platform to help buy-side traders integrate and adjust to new trading
technology tools like delegation, algorithms, crossing, direct trading
and real-time, same-day and longer-term transaction cost analysis.
