Quantitative Brokers (QB), a leading provider of advanced execution algorithms for institutional traders, has launched its algorithmic trading suite on B3 – Brasil Bolsa Balcão, Brazil’s leading exchange and one of the world’s largest derivatives markets. The expansion allows institutional investors to deploy QB’s proven execution strategies, optimized for the local trading environment, directly on B3’s futures markets.

This strategic move marks QB’s official entry into Latin America and underscores its commitment to delivering precision execution, liquidity access, and cost efficiency across global markets. The company’s core single-leg execution algorithms—Bolt, Strobe, and Closer—are now available for use on B3, in partnership with Ideal CTVM, a pioneer in electronic trading on the Brazilian exchange since 2019.

At launch, QB’s algorithms will be available for B3’s most actively traded contracts, including One-Day Interbank Deposit Futures (DI1), Ibovespa Futures (IND), Mini Ibovespa Index (WIN), USD/BRL Futures (DOL), Mini US Dollar Spot (WDO), Bitcoin Futures (BIT), and DI x IPCA Spread (DAP). Further expansion of both product coverage and available algorithmic strategies is planned for subsequent phases.

Takeaway

Quantitative Brokers’ entry into Brazil marks a key milestone in its global growth, extending its best-in-class execution algorithms to one of the most dynamic derivatives markets in the world.

“This partnership with B3 and Ideal CTVM allows us to deliver QB’s cutting-edge execution strategies on Brazil’s leading exchange, while further advancing our growth in Latin America,” said David Kalita, CEO of Quantitative Brokers. “Latin America’s markets are dynamic and liquid, with rapidly growing demand for advanced tools to control trading costs and manage market impact. This launch marks a key milestone in our mission to deliver innovation and measurable value to clients worldwide.”

Through its collaboration with Ideal CTVM, QB brings institutional-grade trading technology to the Brazilian market—enabling clients to execute complex strategies with precision, transparency, and scalability. The partnership leverages Ideal’s expertise in local market connectivity and infrastructure, ensuring seamless access to B3 while maintaining QB’s hallmark execution quality.

“Ideal was created with the ambition to modernize the Brazilian trading industry and help drive its growth,” said Nilson Monteiro, CEO of Ideal CTVM. “Partnering with Quantitative Brokers to bring state-of-the-art algorithms to institutional clients is another important step toward that vision. It has been a privilege to work with QB and key market participants on this project, and we’re excited to help a whole new client base gain access to B3.”

Takeaway

QB’s collaboration with Ideal CTVM delivers advanced algorithmic execution to B3, empowering institutions to manage costs, improve execution quality, and tap into Brazil’s deep liquidity.

The launch represents an important evolution for Latin America’s financial ecosystem. B3’s top contracts—particularly DI Rates—are among the most actively traded interest rate derivatives globally, offering liquidity on par with major international venues. As local and international institutions increasingly seek sophisticated execution tools, QB’s arrival introduces a new benchmark for algorithmic precision and transparency in the region.

For institutional clients, the addition of QB’s algorithms provides powerful tools to minimize slippage, optimize trade timing, and adapt execution dynamically to B3’s unique market microstructure. This move also reflects QB’s broader strategy of expanding its global footprint by integrating with high-growth exchanges and developing region-specific solutions that align with local liquidity dynamics and regulatory environments.

Building on its success in North America, Europe, and Asia, Quantitative Brokers’ expansion into Brazil is expected to drive greater adoption of execution algorithms in Latin America’s rapidly maturing derivatives landscape. The firm’s focus on measurable performance, transparency, and cost efficiency positions it as a leading partner for institutional investors operating in emerging and developed markets alike.

Takeaway

By bringing its algorithmic suite to B3, Quantitative Brokers establishes a foothold in Latin America—bridging global best practices in execution technology with Brazil’s fast-growing derivatives markets.
