Liquidnet announced today that it enjoyed a record performance in its various markets around the world in the quarter ended September 30.

Its Canadian liquidity pool grew to nearly 180 million shares per day, provided liquidity in more than 350 Canadian symbols daily and facilitated an average trade size of 90,000 shares.

Additionally, Liquidnet Europe became the sixth largest agency broker on the London Stock Exchange and posted record principal volume of £9.1 billion for the quarter, a 22% increase over the previous quarter and a 131% increase year-over-year.
