This number was revised to 75, but the company ultimately launched with only 38 institutions.〔 Merrin describes his company as “creating marketplaces that enable institutions to trade in size with the efficiency that they sorely need.”〔 In the U.S., Liquidnet’s average execution size of 50,000 shares is 200 times the size of the 250-share average traded in all lit and dark venues. Liquidnet’s average execution in international equities is reportedly 100 times larger than the average.〔 Liquidnet has an Equity Capital Markets and Issuer Services group which leverages its community of institutional investors to determine institutional demand for a stock.〔(Liquidnet attracts corporate share buy backs - FT.com )〕 In October 2011 Liquidnet launched a private shares market.〔(Dark pool launches private share market - FT.com )〕 As part of Liquidnet’s equity capital markets division, the Private Shares group works with institutional investors and companies looking to trade private shares.〔(Liquidnet Hires Lou Kerner, Enters Secondary Market for Private Shares - NYTimes.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liquidnet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
