The Emerging Liquidity Solution

Emerging markets are developing their liquidity offering . To make the most of this , global investors will want to weigh more than trading costs , execution access or the availability of alternative trading venues into their strategies , as global regulation continues to support a maturing market structure and local regulators start to focus on expanding the investor base and improving liquidity for underlying asset owners .
Emerging markets require the need for traditional marketmaking liquidity solutions including intermediary risk capital and strong sales-trading client engagement .
