Liquidnet Equities

 

Liquidnet brings together the world’s largest asset managers and public companies on a single network that directly connects traders, portfolio managers, analysts and corporate issuers. By revolutionising the flow of ideas, liquidity and capital we have helped change an entire industry while enabling the key players in the institutional investment process to more efficiently capture and retain alpha. Instead of an asset manager searching the ends of the earth for the liquidity they need, Liquidnet enables a buy-side trader to keep those orders protected with a trading system that could bring liquidity to execute against those orders without moving the market. By bringing together institutional buyers and sellers of large blocks of equity securities, Liquidnet enables them to trade with each other directly and anonymously via the Internet on our electronic trading platform. When they use Liquidnet, members enhance the quality and speed of trade execution, gain price improvements for their trades, and, ultimately, lower overall trading costs. It enables anonymous, one-to-one negotiations of large block trades and the creation and strategic access to additional liquidity from external markets, and allows us to serve the broader requirements of our customers, including program and transition trading. Liquidnet members trade equity securities listed in 39 countries.
