What Liquidnet Solves
Challenge
Imagine trying to trade 500,000 shares a few hundred shares at a time. The resulting information leakage and the potential for predatory trading can negatively impact the price of the stocks being traded.
Liquidnet Solution
We’ve created an institutional network that minimizes information leakage, costs, and time to execute on big trades to improve performance.
Equities Offerings
What do massive scale, a desirable network, disruptive technology, and a commitment to transparency mean for the equities market?
Liquidity
Quality, volume, depth, and a competitive advantage—that’s the power of Liquidnet.
Liquidnet’s Members collectively manage more than $15 trillion of equity assets globally.† On a typical trading day, we offer access to liquidity totaling more than 100% of an average day’s volume for more than 2,300 equities worldwide.† That’s why thousands to millions of shares are transacted in single trades on Liquidnet, and why our trading network is renowned for its depth and efficiency.
