The launch of Liquidnet’s Algo suite to the APAC region follows after an earlier release of its services to the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region back in January, as well as a US launch in August of last year. Like the case with its EMEA launch, Liquidnet’s APAC Algos will look to expand into one of the largest growth areas, helping tap into a broader market.
APAC users will gain full access to Liquidnet’s algorithmic (Algo) services, which includes Liquidnet Dark, the portfolio trading Direct-to-Desk algo, as well as the group’s agency trading desk for execution. Moreover, the new extension will garner the use of traditional solutions such as IS, POV, VWAP, TWAP, and Close.

“Our Next Gen Algo suite taps into Liquidnet’s unique pool of deep, natural liquidity, while also intelligently sourcing liquidity from both the lit and dark markets. Our ability to combine the algorithmic offering with this liquidity provides traders with the opportunity to outperform,” he added.
“Amid an environment of falling liquidity and trade volumes, we were able to help our members find the liquidity they needed. Additionally, Liquidnet has also extended the availability of its Targeted Invitations product into Asia-Pacific, which allows qualifying members to seek out additional block liquidity anonymously within the Liquidnet membership,” reiterated Lee Porter, Head of APAC at Liquidnet.
