Retail Liquidity Provider (RLP)
RLP allows brokerage houses, investment banks, multiple banks or another investors to be counterparty to their retail clients’ buy and sell orders for securities, creating greater liquidity for clients to trade in the markets operated by B3.
RLP was developed in a public consultation process with the market, with the aim of enhancing Brazilian capital market regulation so as to encourage an increase in individual investors served by the banks and brokerage houses’ retail areas.
This new order type is exclusively for aggressor orders, in other words those at which the best bids and asks trade RLP is available for mini U.S. Dollar Futures (WDO), mini Ibovespa Futures (WIN) and Equities.
- How it works
- Benefits and advantages
- Greater liquidity for the market and sound working of the price formation process.
- Guarantee for the retail client that the price of the transaction will always be the same or better than the price available in the central order book.
- How to join
Adhesion with RLP is not mandatory. If the individual client wants its aggressor orders to be executed against RLP orders it must authorize the brokerage house to do so.
- Who can trade in the RLP environment?
Only Full Trading Participants (FTPs) can enter RLP order to the PUMA Trading System. They may, however, allow other participants to trade in their place, consolidating their flow of retail orders.

- Fee Policy
Cash Equity Market
Participants who use RLP orders in the cash equity market enjoy an exclusive benefit in the form of reduced fees on trades executed through RLP order accounts.
Obligations
In addition to meeting the obligations described in Circular Letter 011/2023-PRE, from January 31, 2023, participants must meet the following criteria in order to qualify for the special fee schedule:
- 35% of the time at top of book on both sides (buy AND sell), with the obligation to improve the price if the spread is greater than BRL 0.01; and
- 80% of the time at top of book on one side (buy OR sell), with the obligation to improve the price if the spread is greater than BRL 0.01.
Presence time is calculated per stock, per month (simple average) and does not take into account the last trading hour of each trading session.
Participants must meet these obligations in at least 17 of the 20 of assets defined in order to enjoy the benefit of the fee reduction, not considering assets with restriction of trading.
Benefits
The following rules will apply to fees payable on transactions involving assets that participate in the program via accounts accredited to use RLP orders:
- Provided the above obligations are discharged, fees will be reduced by 100%.
- If the obligations are not discharged, the 0.011% fee will be charged on the financial volume.
All transactions effected via accredited accounts that are not RLP orders or their respective closeouts will pay fees of 0.03% on the excess volume traded.
The quantity of closeouts permitted will be the inverse trade of the same quantity of the same security for each account each day.
Example: Buy via RLP order of 100 shares of VALE3 allows the sell of 100 shares of VALE3 as closeout. If 150 shares of VALE3 are sold, the 0.03% fee will be charged on the financial volume of the 50 excess sold shares.
Participants will be informed if they misuse the benefit and may be excluded from the program.
Minicontracts
Participants who use RLP orders in the minicontracts market are allowed to join the HFT Program, according to the Document “Fee Structure: Calculation Rules and Price Tables”. The rules of the Program and fee schedules can be found here.
