As the trading landscape continues to evolve, and amid increased demand for liquidity seeking strategies that have minimal impact, institutional investors need a strategy that dynamically adjusts its aggressiveness while searching for dark liquidity opportunistically. That’s often easier said than done, and it’s why BMO created a new proprietary liquidity sourcing strategy called Arc.

We also delve into the strategy’s dark bonus logic, regime price, and urgency.
