Expanding Horizons in Listed Derivatives: Liquidnet's Business Growth
In a strategic move to address growing demand from buy-side clients for multi-asset solutions, Liquidnet, a technology-driven agency execution specialist, has announced two senior appointments.
Oliver Deutschmann has joined the company as Head of Equity Derivatives, EMEA. With over 15 years of experience, including senior roles at Credit Suisse, UBS, and Commerzbank, Deutschmann will lead client acquisition across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He will oversee the deployment of Liquidnet's Equity Derivatives capabilities in the region and support the broader expansion of Listed Derivatives across Continental Europe.
In a statement, Deutschmann mentioned that the move into Equity Derivatives allows Liquidnet to bring their technology-led, buy-side focused model into new asset classes. He added that establishing local teams in key European hubs will enhance Liquidnet's ability to deliver a more tailored service to buy-side firms.
Alongside Deutschmann, Juan Ferrer Pons was also appointed to accelerate Liquidnet's presence in the Listed Derivatives space across Europe. Ferrer Pons, who previously served as Equity Derivatives Broker at TP ICAP, Liquidnet's parent company, will focus on supporting Members in Continental Europe with tailored liquidity solutions.
The expansion reflects Liquidnet's commitment to building on its existing Equities and Fixed Income capabilities. By deepening access to liquidity in the region, Liquidnet aims to strengthen its position as a leading agency-focused platform for multi-asset solutions.
