The principal exchange of Chile and among the more developed in Latin America, supported by a deep domestic pension-fund base. The IPSA large-caps carry the region’s steadier single-stock liquidity.
On the Bolsa de Santiago, a block is the practical way to move size, because much of the free float on even the IPSA names is held long-term by AFP pension funds and screen turnover understates true depth. Off-book, negotiated crossings let a large line change hands at an agreed price; where the stock also trades as an ADR, the New York price gives both sides an independent mark. Reporting to the CMF and any tender-offer implication are worked around the print, and the trade settles T+2.

What Is a Block Trade, and How Does One Work?
