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, Hennion & Walsh has selected the execution venue on behalf of its customers.

The report is divided into four sections below: 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 Hennion & Walsh, sets forth the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses the material aspects of Hennion & Walsh relationship with the venues.

A written copy of this report will be furnished upon request. In addition, information regarding the specific routing or any orders executed for your account for the previous six months will be furnished upon request. Please contact the representative handling your account.
