European traders are stepping up use of algo wheels &#8212; tools that automate broker selection for trades to reduce bias and improve performance. Algorithmic execution is gaining importance as a core component of broker services, with each fund using 7.8 algo brokers on average, though most trades remain concentrated with the top two providers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg Intelligence, offers one or more of the products or services identified in this research.

AI adoption on trading desks is still cautious, focused mainly on analysis and operations. European buyside traders see execution decisions as more suitable for near-term AI use than investment decision making, which is expected to take longer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">AI use on trading desks still largely experimental<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Data from our 2025 European Institutional Equity Trading Study shows AI adoption on trading desks remains limited and mostly in testing. Most buyside respondents report no use of AI in key areas, such as internal algos (92%), investment decision making (81%) and broker algos (67%). The highest AI adoption rates were in investment analysis (33%) and operational efficiency (28%), but even there, use is largely experimental. Frequent or daily AI use remains rare, suggesting that while interest in AI is growing, institutional trading workflows are still in early-stage adoption.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n\t<section\n\tclass='bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--margin-top-compact bbg-row--margin-bottom-compact bbg-row--full-bg-bleed' data-anchor='row-69d12a27b0cd2'\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\n\t\tbbg-row--content\t\t\"\n>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n    class=\"bbg-column\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div class=\"bbg-interstitial\" aria-label=\"interstitial\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\tbackground: url(https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Interstitial_bg.png);\n\t\t\t\tbackground-repeat: no-repeat;\n\t\t\t\tbackground-position: center center;\n\t\t\t\tbackground-size: cover;\n\t\t\tpadding: 104px;\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t}\n\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta .bbg-card__content, .bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta .bbg-card__content p{\n\t\t\tcolor:white;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 768px) {\n\t\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 80px 32px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 480px) {\n\t\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 80px 18px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-card  bbg-card-dark bbg-card_hasCta has_interstitial\" id=\"card_1\" data-card_type=\"no_image\">\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"bbg-card__innerwrapper\">\n    <div class=\"bbg-card__content\">\n      \n      \n                      <h3 class=\"bbg-card__title\">Discover more with Bloomberg newsletters<\/h3>\n      \n              <div class=\"bbg-card__wysiwyg bb-wysiwyg\"><p>Subscribe now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n          \n<div\n  id=\"cta_7154324410900938842\"\n  class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-cta icon icon-arrow\">\n  <style>\n    \n    \n    \n  <\/style>\n  <div\n    class=\"bbg-cta-link link-holder\"\n    data-links-type=\"cta-links\">\n    <p class=\"bbg-cta-p right\">\n      <a\n        class=\"bbg-cta-link link interstitial_cta\"\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/professional\/insights\/newsletter\/\"\n        target=\"\"\n        rel=\"\"\n        data-section-name=\"\"\n                role=\"button\"\n        aria-label=\"Learn more\"\n        >\n                <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n\t<section\n\tclass='bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-compact row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed' data-anchor='row-69d12a27b649c'\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\n\t\tbbg-row--content\t\t\"\n>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1754\" height=\"1176\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-1-Usage-of-AI-and-Context.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"figure 1 -

Conversely, only 26% report using AI in execution (for less than two years) and just 7% use it in investment, underlining a clear gap.

This shift points to rising adoption of emerging platforms, with Ullink ranking fifth in this year&#8217;s study.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1752\" height=\"1168\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"figure 4 - EMS Providers\" title=\"figure-4-EMS-Providers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 1752w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-4-EMS-Providers.png 162w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1752px) 100vw, 1752px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass='bb-wysiwyg ' style=''>\n\t\t\t<p><b>EET 2025 TCA Trends<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\">Europe funds embrace algo wheels, consolidate brokers&#8217; flows<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">Funds in Bloomberg&#8217;s 2025 European Institutional Equity Trading Study use an average of 7.9 providers for algorithmic order execution, but half of that flow is concentrated in just two brokers. Algorithm wheels, which automate order routing across broker strategies, continue to gain traction as funds streamline execution and performance tracking. We also note the rising importance of algorithmic execution as a core component of broker services.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Large funds boost number of algo providers; midsized cut back<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Large European buyside funds increased their use of algorithmic-trading providers by 21% year over year, averaging 10.2 providers in 2025 vs. 8.4 in 2024, according to our European Institutional Equity Trading Study. The rise may reflect efforts to boost liquidity access. Midsized funds cut back, trimming average broker use to 7 from 9.4, while smaller funds increased slightly to 6.1 from 5.1. Overall, average provider use ticked up to 7.9 from 7.8.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1760\" height=\"1158\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"figure 5 - Average Number of Algo Providers\" title=\"figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 1760w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-5-Average-Number-of-Algo-Providers.png 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1760px) 100vw, 1760px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass='bb-wysiwyg ' style=''>\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"p2\">Top two brokers still account for half of the flow<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">The top two algorithmic brokers on a fund&#8217;s roster retained a 50% share of equity flow, based on fund averages in our trading study &#8212; unchanged from 2024. Brokers ranked fourth and fifth gained ground, rising to 10.4% and 8.2% respectively. Meanwhile, brokers outside the top five saw their share fall to 18.2% from 22.1% last year. In total, the top five brokers captured 82% of algo equity flow, up from 78% in 2024, a shift likely driven by higher equity volumes amid tariff-related volatility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1754\" height=\"1160\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"figure 6 - Average Percentage of Algo Flow to Top Brokers\" title=\"figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 1754w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-6-Average-Percentage-of-Algo-Flow-to-Top-Brokers.png 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1754px) 100vw, 1754px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass='bb-wysiwyg ' style=''>\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"p2\">Algo wheels are gaining popularity in Europe<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Algorithm wheels &#8212; tools that automate order allocations and allow unbiased A\/B testing of algorithms &#8212; are gaining traction in Europe, according to feedback from 103 head and senior traders. In 2025, 42% of buyside firms use an algo wheel, up from 33% in 2024. In last year&#8217;s survey, 20% said they were considering one, but that figure has dipped to 17%. Traders cite reduced manual input and less bias in broker selection as key benefits. These features also support best execution obligations, which may be helping to drive broader use across the region.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:1024px\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-large\" alt=\"Are You Using an Algo Wheel\" title=\"Figure-152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png 166w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-152.png 1097w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass='bb-wysiwyg ' style=''>\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"p2\">Algos cement role in buyside broker service<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">UK and European traders continue to rank trading algorithms as an important broker service. The average importance rating for algos in our study rose to 4.5 in 2025 from 4.1 in 2024, on a 1-5 scale (with 5 being most important). With liquidity consistently ranking among the top two challenges, the ability to efficiently source and deliver liquidity has become a critical broker function. Institutional clients increasingly expect brokers to provide algos that help uncover and access meaningful liquidity across fragmented markets.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1162\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"figure 8 - Algo Importance to Broker Services\" title=\"figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 1750w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/figure-8-Algo-Importance-to-Broker-Services.png 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1750px) 100vw, 1750px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n\t<section\n\tclass='bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed' data-anchor='row-69d12a27c7f04'\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\n\t\tbbg-row--content\t\t\"\n>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div class=\"bbg-accordion transparent\">\n\t<input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-69d12a27c90d6\">\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-parent\" data-accordion-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t<label class=\"bbg-accordion-label\" for=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-69d12a27c90d6\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"bbg-accordion-title\" data-label=\"Disclaimer\">\n\t\tDisclaimer\n\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bb-wysiwyg '>\n\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px;\">The data included in these materials are for illustrative purposes only.
