Latitude Partners is a Toronto, ON-based company in the Financial Services sector.
We serve growth-oriented businesses that are healthy and thriving, have a good business model, and seek a diversified capital structure. We provide access to cost-effective capital without the rigidity of a bank, and we do not seek control of your business like a private equity or venture capital firm would. We are intentional about who we work with—we work with people who understand our value system. We are passionate about having the fruits of our work enrich the lives of our stakeholders and communities, and we work with people who share that passion. Our worldview defines the way we interact with people, and it impacts the way we define success. We believe in cultivating significance over success. That mission thus goes beyond financial or professional success and includes having a positive impact on the people around us and on the communities in which we live and work.

EquiLend's original business plan in 2001 called for providing statistically meaningful industry benchmarks and market data. At that time, no such offering was prevalent in the industry. Since then, the data services market has proven that a demand exists for these products and services. Ten years later, EquiLend initiated the build for a securities finance market data business. By the end of 2011, a raw data feed and graphical user interface were complete. These two products were introduced to an initial test group from our client base and produced a positive response. DataLend has continued to fine-tune its service offering based on user feedback, client needs and market demand, and since going live in January 2013 has brought on more than 30 clients.
