Detailed Methodology 
Client Categorisation 
Bands 
All firms that vote are categorised into ​bands ​and weighted according to their importance to 
the clients for which they vote. Detailed weighting tables are ​covered below​. For the sell-side 
specifically, MiFID II will change the dynamics and payment wallet from bundled to unbundled 
and specifically payment for advisory services. Comprehensive data is not yet available for 
Extel 2018 but it is anticipated that greater transparency will emerge during the course of 2019 
and allow a more accurate categorisation. 
Key Buy-side 
Bands 4 - 10 (currently those institutions with a commission wallet of US$1m+) are considered 
the most relevant institutions to the sell side and are classified as “Key buy-side”. A number of 
the aggregates and awards are based only on this ​list​. This list is distributed to participants 
prior to the commencement of voting and is available throughout. Sell-side are invited to 
suggest changes to the bands and these comments will be considered. 
 
Vote Type 
Extel aims to maximise votes from the Buy-side through a centralised vote process to ensure 
that the results most accurately reflect the market value of the Sell-side. Extel can accept votes 
in four ways: 
● Broker Review (BR)​. A direct feed from a buy-side broker review. Buy-side individuals are 
not proactively invited to vote although they may log into the Extel web site and submit a 
vote. Votes received outside of this list will be verified directly with the firm for a decision 
whether to include. 
● Specified Group (SG)​. A named list of individuals from the buy-side firm have been agreed 
and identified with the broker liaison or equivalent. Voters outside of this list will be verified 
directly with the firm for inclusion. 
● Centralised (C)​. The contribution to Extel may be coordinated by one individual at the 
buy-side firm, usually the broker liaison or equivalent. Voters outside of this list will be 
verified directly with the firm for inclusion. 
 
(2) See ​weighting tables​. 
(3) Firm sector votes only, No individual votes. 
 
○ Individual (I)​. Voting in Extel is open to all individuals at the firm and all votes are included. 
These are aggregated. Multiple individual responses from a firm are collated and weighted 
as a single vote in each category or sector.

  • 13.   Detailed Methodology  Client Categorisation  Bands  All firms that vote are categorised into ​bands ​and weighted according to their importance to  the clients for which they vote. Detailed weighting tables are ​covered below​. For the sell-side  specifically, MiFID II will change the dynamics and payment wallet from bundled to unbundled  and specifically payment for advisory services. Comprehensive data is not yet available for  Extel 2018 but it is anticipated that greater transparency will emerge during the course of 2019  and allow a more accurate categorisation.  Key Buy-side  Bands 4 - 10 (currently those institutions with a commission wallet of US$1m+) are considered  the most relevant institutions to the sell side and are classified as “Key buy-side”. A number of  the aggregates and awards are based only on this ​list​. This list is distributed to participants  prior to the commencement of voting and is available throughout. Sell-side are invited to  suggest changes to the bands and these comments will be considered.    Vote Type  Extel aims to maximise votes from the Buy-side through a centralised vote process to ensure  that the results most accurately reflect the market value of the Sell-side. Extel can accept votes  in four ways:  ● Broker Review (BR)​. A direct feed from a buy-side broker review. Buy-side individuals are  not proactively invited to vote although they may log into the Extel web site and submit a  vote. Votes received outside of this list will be verified directly with the firm for a decision  whether to include.  ● Specified Group (SG)​. A named list of individuals from the buy-side firm have been agreed  and identified with the broker liaison or equivalent. Voters outside of this list will be verified  directly with the firm for inclusion.  ● Centralised (C)​. The contribution to Extel may be coordinated by one individual at the  buy-side firm, usually the broker liaison or equivalent. Voters outside of this list will be  verified directly with the firm for inclusion.    (2) See ​weighting tables​.  (3) Firm sector votes only, No individual votes.
