InterBolsa (BVC: INTERBOLSA) formerly the Interbolsa Financial Group now largely known as Grupo InterBolsa, was a Colombian based securities broker (largest in Colombia) and proprietary trader that also engaged in asset management and other types of investment banking, that operated until November 2012 when the Colombian Government ordered its closure by a default of debts with the local banking system. The group still have other investments and companies overseas which operations may not be interrupted by this closure. [4]

The company had over 29% of the market volume of brokerage activity in Colombia.[5]

History

In 2009 after it made a move into the Brazilian market when it acquired all of Finabank for US$21 million it officially organized itself into a holding company called Grupo InterBolsa.
