In early October 2021, Lehman Capital conducted a questionnaire survey on different types of financial practitioners such as fund companies, stock brokers and foreign exchange trading institutions around the world. The survey results reveal that more and more financial traders begin to pursue a better trading experience actively. In order to better serve the market and meet the growing trading needs of the traders, “liquidity provider” began to enter the vision of many financial traders.

What is liquidity?

We all know that the market will form liquidity only when there are buying and selling orders at the same price, and liquidity can affect the transaction cost directly.

For example, Mr. Brown has thrown out a lot of orders at one price, but there are not so many people who want to buy his order at this price in the market. Mr. Brown can only reduce the price to look for more buyers, which process is the transaction loss caused by insufficient liquidity.

1. What is the liquidity provider (LP)?

The abbreviation of liquidity provider is referred to as LP (Liquidity Provider). In many cases, LP is a visible but untouchable existence for many financial traders.

As we all know, the trading level among the markets can be divided into three levels: the first level is the major multinational banks LP, investment banks LP and large non-banks LP; the second level is the ordinary retail trading platforms; the third level is individual retail investors and institutional investors.

Some well-known global monetary banks are the top liquidity providers, but docking with these banks requires very sophisticated technology and very high cost, therefore only a small number of powerful brokers or clearing banks can get this opportunity. For example Lehman Capital and other brokers, clearing institutions and the exchanges with PB business cooperation with banks, they will provide liquidity for small and medium-sized brokers, so they are also called secondary institutional broker, in addition more common non-bank LPs.

2. What does LP do?

LP can integrate market quotations, capture the best prices and pass them to the retail brokers and the investors, as well as provide clearing services and technical support for the retail brokers.

When providing PB business for brokers, large banks will investigate the qualifications of the brokers from various aspects such as management scale, assets and liabilities, financial qualification, institutional credit rating and historical cooperation relationship, so as to measure the risks of the brokers and require brokers to provide huge guarantee funds.

It should also be noted that different retail brokers obtain different liquidity even for the same liquidity provider. For example, some institutional banks will divide the capital pool into system transaction sub pool and general retail sub pool. The order execution services obtained by two brokers in the same sub pool may also be inconsistent.

For liquidity providers, it is natural that brokers with larger orders and higher quality are more qualified to obtain high-quality order execution. For example, the LP of Lehman Capital, which is directly connected with the bank trading system, has a quotation depth of more than 20 layers and ranks among the best in the same industry.
