Liquidnet Latin America equities trading expanded on Tuesday, with the firm upgrading its Brazil and Mexico equities offer for institutional investors. The company said the move aims to improve access to liquidity and strengthen execution in both markets. It added that members can now seek large block trades while also running algorithmic strategies in the broader market.
Liquidnet said this setup helps investors look for liquidity in a discreet way. At the same time, it said clients keep market reach and control over execution. The firm also pointed to its network structure as a key part of the offer.
Liquidnet Latin America Equities Network Model
Liquidnet said its model links members with more than 1,200 institutional counterparties around the world. Rather than rely on outside dark pools, the firm runs a single liquidity network. As a result, it said the model supports transparency and real block trading among buy side participants.
Eric Blake, Head of LatAm at Liquidnet, said the broader service gives members access to block liquidity and market-specific algorithms for Brazil and Mexico. He added that clients also receive support from the firm’s Americas high-touch trading desk. According to Blake, the service comes through a non-conflictive agency model.
Brazil and Mexico Trading Support
Liquidnet said its local market knowledge is meant to help clients handle regulatory issues and liquidity conditions in Brazil and Mexico. In addition, the firm said it acts as a single contact point for execution needs in both markets.
Alan Polo, Co-Head of Equities Sales and Trading, Americas, said the expansion reflects rising investor interest in Latin America for diversification and growth. He added that the step strengthens the firm’s commitment to institutional-grade execution across the region. Liquidnet is owned by TP ICAP Group.
