Avenue Securities taps Sterling Trading Tech to bring Brazilian investors access to US markets


Sterling Trading Tech (STT), a leading provider of order management systems, risk and margin tools and trading platforms to the capital markets worldwide, today announced it has signed with Avenue Securities, a groundbreaking U.S. digital brokerage serving retail investors in Brazil, to provide its suite of technology solutions to offer Brazilian investors sophisticated trading tools and functionality to trade the U.S. markets.

Founded in 2018 and based in Miami, Avenue is the leader in Brazilian investments abroad.

The firm is the largest broker-dealer in the U.S. for Brazilians, currently serving more than 600,000 Brazilian investors who have discovered the opportunities of the American financial markets through Avenue.

Avenue will utilize all three product lines in the Sterling ecosystem: Trading platforms (via web and mobile access), OMS and the post-trade Risk and Margin system. Sterling’s suite of technology solutions will additionally allow Avenue to fully integrate U.S. equities into their backend infrastructure for order routing and risk capabilities, and options trading will soon be available as well.
