Liquidnet, the institutional trading network and dark pool operator owned by TP ICAP Group, has expanded its Multi-Asset Services team with the addition of Patric Okumi and Samuel Lowres to lead Multi-Asset Sales.

Drawing on their expertise from within TP ICAP Group and Liquidnet, they will focus on enhancing buy-side access to trading opportunities, leveraging where appropriate TP ICAP Group’s deep liquidity pools across select brands and a range of asset classes.

According to a press statement, the offering "enables Members to anonymously interact with this liquidity, and have access to bespoke trading tools and analytics".

Okumi has spent 11 years within TP ICAP Group, with a multi-faceted background in broking and trading. He was part of ICAP’s Equity Trading desk before building out the Single Stock Equity and ETF RFQ offering on Fusion, the firm’s market-leading electronic platform.

Lowres joined Liquidnet three years ago as part of the Liquidity Partnerships team. With a background in low-touch electronic trading and a strong focus on execution consulting, including the provision of data and Transaction Cost Analysis, he brings a wealth of technical expertise to this role.
