The average daily trading commissions in January 2018 in ITG’s Canadian, European and Asia Pacific businesses were up approximately 19% in U.S. dollar terms on a combined basis as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and were up approximately 40% as compared to January 2017.

ITG set a new monthly record in January 2018 for block value crossed in global POSIT Alert, including new records in Europe and Asia Pacific.

 

These statistics are preliminary and may be revised in subsequent updates and public filings. Volume statistics are posted on the investor relations section of ITG’s website, investor.itg.com and are available via a downloadable spreadsheet file.

 

Accounting Rule Change

 

Beginning in January 2018, ITG implemented a new accounting rule and will be recognizing global commission revenue attributed to Analytics products under bundled arrangements over the course of the annual service period. This change is expected to result in the deferral of approximately $4 million of commission revenue in the first quarter of 2018 and approximately $2 million in the second quarter of 2018. These reductions are expected to be offset by increases to third and fourth quarter 2018 commission revenues of approximately $2 million and $4 million, respectively.
