System for facilitating objective evaluation of the performance of shell-side professionals

摘要

A system for facilitating evaluation, by a buy-side professional, of performance of a sell-side professional, includes a computer system and a source of performance data in which the computer system is in communication. Software executing on the computer system receives from the sell-side professional a plurality of sell-side data and determines a performance evaluation of each of the sell-side data based at least in part upon contents of each of the sell-side data and at least in part upon the performance data. Software executing on the computer system also receives from the buy-side professional a set of weighted preferences indicative of importance to the buy-side professional of performance of different types of sell-side data, and calculates a performance rating of the sell-side professional based at least in part upon the performance evaluation of each of the sell-side data and at least in part upon the weighted preferences.
