Brockhouse Cooper

Americas

U.S. market: Among the more than 50 world markets where Brockhouse Cooper trades, the U.S. is currently our most actively traded market. Using our expertise in trading equities and our commitment to technology, our agency-only trading platform lends itself perfectly to a U.S. marketplace that is characterized by high liquidity, market fragmentation, and the adoption of algorithms to break up orders into smaller trades.

Canadian Market: Brockhouse Cooper has a deep understanding of the Canadian marketplace. This market is small and, as such, controlling information flow and confidentiality is important. Success in this marketplace is determined by a cautious and patient approach. Additionally, finding liquidity in what is often characterized as a “block market” is key to achieving best execution.

Latin America: Latin America is a rapidly developing market where Brockhouse Cooper has built a strong network of contacts.  The Brazilian economy is largely driven by commodities and resembles the Canadian market in this respect.  Despite its classification as an emerging market, Brazil has a fairly developed equity derivatives exchange.  Mexico is the second largest market, after Brazil, and is one where Brockhouse Cooper has several years’ experience. 

Asia

Brockhouse Cooper’s Asian trading desk seeks out developed and emerging equity markets throughout Asia to provide a diversified grouping of trading channels.
