The state investment office recognizes the value of outside research, quantitative support, and other services provided by the brokerage firms with which it transacts securities trades. The state investment office attempts to compensate brokers fairly and in approximate proportion to the overall utility of each brokerage firm to the funds' internal management activities. Brokerage firms with offices in New Mexico will be given preference in the award of commission business within a best price and execution context where all other factors are judged equal.
