About TAG

In 1996, The Transaction Auditing Group, Inc., (TAG) originated the idea of independent Best Execution reporting and standardized industry benchmarks.

This was long before the advent of Rule 605/606 and the level of public disclosure which is now commonplace. Through industry roundtables and extensive research, TAG developed technology and statistics which have found their way into numerous regulations and are standard in almost every best execution report produced today.

As innovators in the Securities Industry, TAG combines unique real-time market data colleciton and archival capabilities, with proprietary compliance and analytical measurements, combined with regulatory criteria in the creation of its metrics. TAG's line of product solutions has been designed using our extensive experience, market research and feedback from numerous client firms including market makers, broker-dealers, exchanges and alternative marketplaces.
