James Rubinstein, in reaction to his appointment, expressed confidence in the company’s ability to provide institutional liquidity to its clients. “Liquidnet’s equity franchise has huge potential. Its deep and diverse pool of institutional liquidity , combined with its technology, talent and trusted brand mean that we are well placed to meet our Members’ evolving needs,” he said.

Meanwhile, Laible described Rubinstein as “another step forward in enhancing our EQS offering in the US. His deep technical knowledge and track record of delivering innovative, market-driven solutions position us well to drive growth,” the equities head added.

Before joining BNP Paribas, Rubinstein spent three years with Deutsche Bank as Head of Electronic Equities, Americas.

Liquidnet’s Focus on Fixed Income

Liquidnet in November last year recruited Nicholas Stephan as the Global Head of Fixed Income to cultivate the company’s fixed income offering across primary and secondary markets. Stephan was charged with advancing new trading protocols, governance and access to Liquidity.

In December, the private trading operator announced that it was enhancing the coverage of its services in continental Europe by deploying equities and fixed income specialists in Paris, Madrid, Frankfurt and Copenhagen.

However, earlier in September, the company launched a protocol that allows its members to trade new issues in bond markets across Europe and the United States.
