Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia:

Liquidnet's global institutional trading network has announced that its global buy-side community of more than 930 member firms can now trade Brazilian equities anonymously through its platform.

The institutional equities marketplace said that the launch comes amid significant institutional interest in the Brazilian market, and emerging markets in general.

Brennan Warble, Head of Americas at Liquidnet said: "Over the past few years, we've focused our expansion efforts on emerging markets around the world, including the launches of India, Taiwan and Pakistan."

He added: "The introduction of Brazil as our 46th equity market represents a significant addition to this list, as our global Membership can now access two-thirds of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index through Liquidnet."

The addition of Brazil brings Liquidnet's global reach to 46 equity markets worldwide and, now, six continents, said the release.

The launch also marks Liquidnet's introduction into the South American market as the firm continues to expand in high growth markets, further boosting the number of investment opportunities for its Member base, it said.

Liquidnet is the global institutional trading network where more than 930 of the world's top asset managers and other like-minded investors come to execute their large trades with maximum anonymity and minimum market impact.
