"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 QB's mission to deliver innovation and measurable value to our clients worldwide."
"Ideal was created with the ambition to modernize the Brazilian trading industry and help drive its growth. Partnering up with an international specialist, to bring state-of-the-art algos for institutional clients is another important step towards that vision. It has been a privilege to work with Quantitative Brokers and key market participants on this project. We are thrilled to help a whole new client base gain access to B3.",
said Nilson Monteiro, CEO of Ideal CTVM.
QB Expands into LATAM
This launch marks QB's entry into Latin America and is a significant milestone in the company's global expansion. The top contracts on B3 — particularly DI Rates, a core interest rate product — present institutional-scale opportunities with volumes rivaling or exceeding those on other major global exchanges. Strong client demand, established local partnerships, and a growing regional presence position QB to capture meaningful flow in Brazil and across the region.
