SEC-Required Report on Routing of Customer Orders
For Quarter Ending June 2008
Spencer-Winston Securities Corporation has prepared
this report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring
all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order
routing practices. The report provides information on the routing of
“non-directed orders” — any order that the customer has not specifically
instructed to be routed to a particular venue for execution. For these
non-directed orders, Spencer-Winston Securities Corporation has selected the
execution venue on behalf of its customers. The report is divided into four
sections: one for securities listed on the New York
Stock exchange, one for securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, one for securities listed on the
American Stock Exchange or regional exchanges, and one for exchange-listed
options. For each section, this report identifies the venues most often
selected by Spencer-Winston Securities Corporation, sets forth the percentage
of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses the material
aspects of Spencer-Winston Securities Corporation’s relationship with the
venues if applicable.
