This report covers quality covering price, cost, size and speed of execution.

In addition to RTS 27 Now, the multinational mass media and information firm also offers financial institutions to help assist in the changing regulatory landscape due to the implementation of MiFID II this year.
In the statement, Thomson Reuters also mentioned that its ‘Financial & Risk’ business will be known as Refinitiv. This follows the closing of its partnership with private equity funds managed by Blackstone.
