Cons

- Trading hours run weekday mornings into early afternoon only, Mexico City time
Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, known as the BMV, is Mexico's national stock exchange. Brokers first organized a Mexico City exchange in 1894. Congress gave it a formal concession in 1933, and in 1975 it took its current name after absorbing smaller exchanges in Monterrey and Guadalajara. Trading became fully electronic by 1999.
The BMV lists stocks, government bonds, corporate debt, ETFs, and real estate trusts called Fibras. Its main index, the IPC, tracks the largest listed companies. The exchange itself became a public company in 2008 and its own shares trade under the ticker BOLSA A. It does not buy or sell securities directly. All trades pass through licensed brokerage firms.
The CNBV, Mexico's banking and securities regulator, oversees the BMV under a concession from the Finance Ministry. This is not a retail forex broker, so ideas like minimum deposit or leverage do not apply here. Since 2018 it has faced new competition from a rival exchange, BIVA, for company listings.
