ITG US Trading Activity

Although May 2012 trading volume was relatively strong based on overall market activity, the trading mix negatively impacted average revenue capture per share.  More than 5% of total May volume was from market-on-close (MOC) orders associated with end-of-month index rebalancing.

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.
