- Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. operates as the principal stock exchange in Argentina, providing a comprehensive range of trading, post-trading, and custody services for all types of securities tradable within the Argentine market. Its main product segments include a Trading and Clearing House and Central Counterpart division, which handles liquidation, multilateral compensation, and veto of concerted operations; a Collective Deposit Agent segment that manages custody and safekeeping services through its affiliate Caja de Valores S.A.; and an Education, Research, and Training division focused on the development and administration of market educational initiatives. The company offers a broad spectrum of financial instruments including equities, options, futures, mutual funds, corporate bonds, government bonds, and future-dated delivery trades. It also provides technological platforms such as the Order Management System (OMS) and ANIMA, a direct market access trading platform offering real-time prices, historical data, and customizable dashboards. Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos serves institutional investors, companies, brokers, and retail investors domestically, with some service accessibility for foreign market participants. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, the company is regulated by the Argentine National Securities Commission (CNV).
In the last two years, Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos has experienced significant growth and strategic advancements, including a substantial increase in investor accounts and trading volumes, reflecting its ongoing commitment to a technological, efficient, and accessible capital market ecosystem. In 2025, BYMA reported strong financial growth, with over 1.74 million new individual investor accounts in the first quarter alone and a 45% increase in transaction volumes, underscoring a growing market presence and enhanced liquidity. The company has strengthened its market data products, offering real-time, delayed, and end-of-day data services that empower investment decisions. BYMA also continues to expand its service offerings through innovation in digital trading technologies and market infrastructure, reinforcing its position as a leading benchmark institution within the Argentine capital market. Recent strategic moves focus on enhancing operational efficiency, expanding market access, and fostering investor education to support sustained market development.
Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos operates mainly within Argentina but engages with international investors through trading and custody services for foreign participants. The company is publicly listed and has built extensive capabilities in brokerage ranking, transaction clearing, settlement, shareholder registry, safekeeping, and debt payment and allocation services. Its business segments systematically support securities issuance and trading processes, consolidating BYMA as a central pillar of Argentina's capital markets.
This profile reflects the company's core activities and the major strides it has taken recently to enhance its technological platform, expand its customer base, and increase market participation across multiple securities classes, positioning itself as a modern and integral financial market infrastructure provider in Argentina.
