PGB

What PGB does

PGB Group is a privately held, Santiago-headquartered arbitrage trading firm that operates automated, real-time-data-driven trading strategies across Latin American markets. The firm deploys proprietary algorithms to detect and execute arbitrage opportunities across 50+ active trading pairs in 5+ LatAm countries, using 3+ strategy types. Its single core product, the PGB Arbitrage Trading Platform, layers algorithmic execution onto a multi-layered security architecture, a comprehensive internal reporting system, full operational auditability and traceability, and integration with multiple external trading systems, brokers, and accounting platforms.

The company positions itself at the intersection of finance, technology, and quantitative analysis, with a team it describes as composed of financial, software, and quant profiles. Infrastructure is explicitly designed for scalability to additional countries, markets, and asset classes, with ADRs and Mutual Funds already named as supported instruments. The firm emphasizes data-driven decision making and the automation of every automatable process.

PGB Group is privately held with no disclosed external investors, venture capital backing, or parent company. No revenue, headcount, or pricing figures are publicly disclosed, and outreach is handled via a general email channel ([email protected]) and a LinkedIn corporate page. The firm is actively recruiting, signaling ongoing organizational build-out. Given the absence of a published customer or pricing model, the business appears to function as a proprietary (or partner-capital) trading operation rather than a commercial software vendor.
