It will be located in the Dublin’s International Financial Services Centre and regulated by the Irish central bank.

Liquidnet EMEA COO Simon Ormrod said: “It is vital that we continue to provide services to all our European clients, which include some of the world’s biggest institutional investors following Brexit.

“Establishing our presence in Dublin ensures that our EU-based operations continue to give our clients global access to the same unique liquidity, innovation, and execution ecosystem that we currently offer from the UK.”

According to Ormrod, the choice of Dublin was based on the city’s “regulatory environment and highly skilled workforce”.
