Frequently asked questions
What markets does BCP Securities cover?
BCP focuses on emerging-market fixed income, with primary coverage of Latin America and Turkey. Its desks in São Paulo and Istanbul provide local origination and trading in sovereign, quasi-sovereign, and corporate bonds across Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, and select frontier markets. The firm also distributes hard-currency and local-currency paper to institutional investors in the US and Europe through its Greenwich headquarters.
Is BCP a broker-dealer or an investment manager?
BCP Securities is registered as a US broker-dealer and operates primarily as a fixed-income intermediary. The firm makes markets in emerging-market bonds and distributes new issues, rather than managing discretionary pooled funds. Its revenue model derives from bid-ask spreads, placement fees, and structuring mandates, not asset-management fees.
Does BCP participate in sovereign debt restructurings?
BCP has historically maintained a presence in distressed and post-restructuring sovereign debt markets, particularly in Argentina and Turkey. The firm's local desks provide pricing intelligence and secondary-market liquidity during restructuring negotiations, and it has participated in creditor committees and new-issue syndications following debt exchanges. Specific mandates are not publicly disclosed.
What type of institutional clients does BCP serve?
BCP's distribution network targets US and European institutional accounts, including dedicated emerging-market bond funds, hedge funds, insurance companies, and family offices with fixed-income allocations. The firm does not operate a retail brokerage, and its minimum transaction sizes are calibrated for professional investors trading in institutional lot sizes.
