BTG Pactual has topped Extel's 2026 Latin America Trading Survey as the region's leading trading and execution broker, extending its run at the top to six consecutive years — and this time doing it with a clean sweep, finishing first in electronic, high-touch, portfolio/program, and Delta One/ETF trading.

BTG's Guilherme Martins credited the firm's long-term strategy: "The results show, once again, that we have been on the right path for the past years. We are collecting what we have seeded more than a decade ago, leveraging our strong local relationships and global reach. A combination of a seasoned team and continued investment in technology enabled us to provide a top-notch service to our client base. We look forward to embracing new technologies such as AI to enhance our business as market structure continues to advance throughout the region," said Martins, Global Head of Sales and Trading at BTG Pactual.
