2019 full year guidance:
§ Despite a strong performance in the third quarter, our full year guidance of low single-digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis remains unchanged. We also highlight current geopolitical uncertainties which may have an impact on transaction volumes in the fourth quarter.
2019 preliminary results timetable:
§ The Company will report the preliminary results for the 2019 financial year on 10 March 2020.
Nicolas Breteau, Chief Executive Officer said:
"Today's strong trading update demonstrates that TP ICAP's trading portfolio is well placed to capitalise on volatile macro market conditions.
Separately, our ongoing investment in areas such as Energy & Commodities, Institutional Services and Data & Analytics already bears fruit and ensures a higher-growth, diversified revenue profile."
