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?
