LED´s solution is the result of consolidating, debugging, standardizing and enriching the data provided by the primary sources of financial information in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, using international practices to help identify instruments and the treatment of information by the public.

LED’s medium-term target is to cover most Latin American financial markets through a strategic roadmap intended to increase and integrate additional sources of information from other countries in the region. Currently, LED employs technical and functional professionals with extensive experience and knowledge both of the region’s financial markets and of information dissemination and integration.

In order to support the launch of the service, LED is providing a free trial period to which the world’s main financial and market data providers have already signed up.

The LED platform is the outcome of planned and intense work with Stock Exchanges, Regulators, Central Banks and other sources of financial information within the Latin American region. The technology that supports the collection, processing and distribution of information was developed by BME.

Likewise, BMV handles the operational processes and customer service at the LED Support Centre in Mexico City, while the Commercial, Administration and Management operations are centralized at LED’s Headquarters in Miami (USA).
