Listing text
Mercantile & Investment Corporation Bolivia S.A. is a Bolivian broker-dealer and investment house founded in 1983 in La Paz, licensed by ASFI, the national financial regulator, with over 43 years of experience in the Bolivian capital markets. It is the investment arm of international Grupo MIC, offering securities trading, foreign exchange, financial leasing, repo operations, centralized securities custody and discretionary portfolio management. Led by Managing Director Alberto Barrón Michel, it serves institutional investors and corporate clients seeking access to Bolivia's Bolsa Boliviana de Valores. Bolivia's capital market is one of the smallest in Latin America, giving licensed players like MIC a niche with limited competition. Key strengths are full ASFI licensing, international group backing and a comprehensive financial product suite spanning brokerage, leasing and asset management. The firm positions itself as a trusted long-term wealth protector in a market dominated by trade
