categories . However , when it comes to anonymity , they are bottom of the chart . Note , however , that they beat the overall category average by 0.07 , so they still had a solid score . Unfortunately , not much insight can be gained from buy-side traders , as no comments were left .
When it comes to BMO , there were plenty of changes being made globally over the last 12 months . Supporting the usual core algorithms , as well as ARC , a BMO proprietary algo strategy , BMO covers equities and ETFs mainly in EMEA and North America . For three of the fifteen categories list ( Above / Below / to the L / R ) BMO took the bottom slot , however given the recent changes , BMO may be one to watch in the coming year , with one trader commenting that they believe that BMO is the best “ all-rounder in class ”.
Methodology Buy-side survey respondents were asked to give a rating for each algorithm provider on a numerical scale from 1.0 ( very weak ) through to 7.0 ( excellent ), covering 15 functional criteria . In general , 5.0 ( good ) is the ‘ default ’ score of respondents . In total , a record number of 2,222 ratings were received across 35 algo providers , yielding thousands of data points for analysis . Only the evaluations from clients who indicated that they were engaged in managing long-only strategies have been used to compile the provider profiles and overall market review information . Each evaluation was weighted according to three characteristics of each respondent : the value of assets under management ; the proportion of business done using algorithms ; and the number of different providers being used . In this way the evaluations of the largest and broadest users of algorithms were weighted at up to three times the weight of the smallest and least experienced respondent . Finally , it should be noted that some responses provided by affiliated entities were ignored . A few other responses where the respondent could not be properly verified were also excluded . We hope that readers find this approach both informative and useful as they assess different capabilities in the future .
