- Estimize’s offering has a weighted consensus based on measuring the accuracy of its analysts' forecasts.

TD Ameritrade worked with Estimize, the first crowdsourced earnings estimate service, to integrate its robust set of data feeds and APIs into the research offering of the flagship platform. Estimize consensus estimates are regularly referenced in notable financial media and are also available on major financial research platforms such as Bloomberg.
The new feature puts an array of historic data in the hands of retail investors through an API access to Estimize’s corporate earnings and revenue estimates. In particular, the partnership between Estimize and TD Ameritrade helps investors aggregate fundamental estimates on more than 2,100 US-listed securities crowdsourced from over 3,000 contributors, including Buy-Side Buy-Side The buy-side is comprised of firms in the financial industry that purchase securities and are accompanied by account investment managers, pension funds, and hedge funds.The buy-side is composed of those that buy and invest large sums of securities with the intention of generating a lucrative return or have their funds managed. The Buy-Side ExplainedIn terms of Wall Street, the buy-side includes investment institutions that purchase securities, stocks, or other financial instruments with the aim of satisfying their client’s portfolio demands. Through the analysis and acquisition of underpriced assets, buy-side entities purchase these assets with the prediction that they will appreciate. Moreover, the largest buy-side participants include firms such as BlackRock, The Vanguard Group, and UBS Group to name a few. It is important to note that firms such as BlackRock are able to influence market prices as a result of placing large investments under single entities while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a quarterly 13-F filing for all holdings bought or sold by buy-side managers. What differentiates buy-side investors from other traders would be the advantages that are yielded to them.
