Chris Jackson, a worldwide head of shares on Liquidnet, said:

“This is a turning point for our US equity businesses, as customer expectations are evolving, we invest in talents and opportunities that allow us to meet our requirements, whether it leads to more value in trade block, enhancing our interregional offering or expanding its high level.
