Bernard Madoff Scandal

A scandal involving the founder and president of New York-based Bernard Madoff Investment Securities and former chairman of Nasdaq surfaced on Dec. 11, 2008, when Bernard Madoff was charged by federal prosecutors with an alleged $50-billion securities fraud at his advisory business. He was also sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On June 29, 2009, Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for the fraud he committed.
A couple media outlets focused on the fact that Madoff's mother and father had their own financial troubles. Madoff’s mother's brokerage firm was forced to close after a run-in with the feds, while Madoff's father had his own tax woes about 40 years ago.
In early February of 2009, a Spanish law firm that filed a U.S. lawsuit in the name of some of Madoff's victims said that there were up to three million "direct and indirect" victims worldwide of the alleged fraud. The estimate was said to be based on information collected from over 30 law firms around the world that were representing the victims of the alleged scheme in 25 countries.
In mid February of 2009, the trustee liquidating the brokerage of Madoff subpoenaed 13 exchanges and clearinghouses, including the Chicago Board of Trade, trying to recover money for victims of Madoff's alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme. It was not immediately clear what information he was seeking in connection with the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.
On Apr. 27, 2009, Madoff's market-making business was sold at an auction to Castor Pollux Securities LLC for up to $25.5 million, a fraction of what is was previously believed to be worth.
On June 29, 2009, Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison. The judge said the fraud Madoff committed was so extensive that the judge needed to send a symbolic message to those who might imitate his fraud and to victims who needed relief.

Best execution

Best Execution refers to an investment service firm's obligation to execute orders on behalf of customers and to ensure that the prices those orders receive reflect the best mix of price improvement, speed and likelihood of execution. Brokers are obligated to send orders to venues with the optimal "best execution stats."
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, every registered investment adviser, including an investment adviser to a mutual fund, has a duty to obtain "best execution" on all securities transactions for their clients. 
== Best Execution Requirements ==
To determine compliance, brokerage firms must evaluate customer orders and assess which competing markets, market makers, or electronic communications networks offer the best terms of execution. Ultimately, the decision on best execution is made by selecting preferences of market centers or counterparties who consistently meet or exceed certain benchmarks for quality.
== Best Execution Reporting ==
Some companies, including Austin, Texas-based S3 Matching Technologies can assist with best execution reporting for both equities and options.
In the case of S3, their reporting technology offers complete transparency into order flow management through a self-service interface. This results in trade reports that can be easily packaged and delivered over the web. Client requests for information can be immediately answered. In the event of a disimproved trade, a missed fill, or any order that is executed outside of the customized business rules and standards, the technology's closed-loop system for managing orders and work flow creates a ticketing system for resolving exceptions. Exceptions are reported to responsible traders and other stakeholders in the process in real time.

Beta

Beta measures the price volatility of the portfolio in comparison to a specific benchmark, such as the S&P 500. 
For example:
*A portfolio that has a beta of 1 should increase 10% when market prices increase 10%. 
*A fund with a beta of 1.10 is expected to perform 10% better than the market in a rising market, but 10% worse in a declining market. 
*A portfolio with a beta of less than 1.0 indicates that it is less volatile than the market or index.
Another example:
A fund with a beta of 0.7 has experienced gains and losses that are 70% of the benchmark's changes. A beta of 1.3 means the total return is likely to move up or down 30% more than the index. A fund with a 1.0 beta is expected to move in sync with the index.
