provide liquidity is the standard translation for "otorgar liquidez"

"This was important for not only profitability as a corporation but it was also important for being able to provide liquidity to their larger portfolio of instruments that they wanted to be able to provide trading for."

"provide liquidity to their portfolios" seems a better option than "make the instruments liquid". Check the net.

"otorgar liquidez" does not mean necessarily that you are going to convert those instruments into cash but only that you are making it easier for them to be converted into cash.Therefore you "provide liquidity" as opposed to "make them liquid". In short, you do not have to sell them.

the idea is Transformation Maria

if you make something liquid..you most likely have to Cash it in...and it is no longer the same instrument. That is why the answer here has to have the meaning of "make x liquid"..and not provide x with liquidity...if you provide X with liquidity, you still have the instrument, if you Make It liquid, it has become something else.

cheers

You also might consider: To cash in the instruments or cash out the instruments

it all depends on what the "instruments" are...right? Each financial instrument has its own peculiarities.
