TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is pleased to announce that, with effect from today, it is ready for the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).

The TP ICAP group has been authorised by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority to operate Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) and Organised Trading Facilities (OTFs).

MiFID II will impact the way TP ICAP operates and, as of this morning, Tullett Prebon, ICAP and PVM, now run 11 trading venues in Europe, meaning TP ICAP is now the world’s largest operator of MiFID II trading venues.

John Phizackerley, Chief Executive, TP ICAP, said: “Preparing for MiFID II has been a major priority for TP ICAP. We’ve invested across the group to make sure we are ready, and have been working hard over several years to get ourselves prepared for its implementation. Our clients will have access to our brokers and trading platforms as they always have, and can be assured that they have the best source of pre-trade and post-trade data to enable them to form efficient commercial and trading strategies.”

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is today pleased to announce that its Group Chief Executive, John Phizackerley, has been named Chief Executive of the Year by FOW Magazine at their International Awards.

The win for John, known to his colleagues as Phiz, came at an awards ceremony held in London last night. It capped off a successful night for TP ICAP as Tullett Prebon was named Interdealer Broker of the Year.

John Phizackerley, Chief Executive, TP ICAP said:  “I am truly honoured to have been chosen as FOW’s CEO of the Year.  There are many CEOs in our industry who are deserving of this title, so to win is a great accolade.  It has to be said, that I didn’t win this award by myself – I am supported by fantastic colleagues across the TP ICAP business.  We are all focussed on delivering the best we can for our clients, and winning this award is the icing on the cake!”

TP ICAP was created after Tullett Prebon completed the acquisition of ICAP’s Global Broking Business in December 2016.

TP ICAP plc (“TP ICAP” or “the Company”) announces that it has today acquired Coex Partners Limited (“Coex”), an independent agency broker.

Coex has offices in London, Paris and New York. It was founded in 2014 and has 55 brokers. The company provides trade and execution services in listed derivatives and OTC foreign exchange to hedge funds, assets managers and other clients.  It is being sold by its management.  John Ruskin and Alex Gerskowitch, the founders and senior management, will remain with the business and continue to build it.

TP ICAP and Coex began working together in 2016 and the acquisition is a natural progression of that successful collaboration.

Coex will become part of TP ICAP’s Institutional Services division which provides high value services, including pre-trade information, market intelligence and intermediation to its clients.  The acquisition continues the expansion of the Institutional Services division’s specialist execution expertise and product range.

The initial payment for the acquisition (including settlement of existing shareholder loans) is £7.1m in cash, and performance-related payments may be made at various dates during the next 4 years. These subsequent payments will be satisfied through the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company or cash, at the discretion of the Company.

For the year ended 31 December 2016, Coex made profits before tax of £2.1m. At 31 December 2016 it had gross assets of £6.5m. Its revenues for the 6 months to 30 June 2017 were £11m.  Coex entered into an appointed representative agreement with TP ICAP in June 2016 and since that date its revenues have been included in the consolidated revenues of the TP ICAP Group.

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, suffered a network outage at 4.50pm GMT yesterday. We have been working with our network and hardware providers to resolve the issue.

As of 7am GMT today, significant progress has been made in diagnosing the problem and initiating recovery. It is a network outage and not a cyber-attack.

The incident has impacted the customers across our Tullett Prebon businesses. However, substantially all of ICAP’s businesses remain unaffected.

We have informed our regulators and our customers, and any transactions impacted by the outage have been identified and managed accordingly.

The organisation is fully mobilised and working on this as a matter of urgency, and we will provide an update in due course, though we hope to have the issue resolved during the course of today.

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is today pleased to announce the appointment of Eric Sinclair as CEO, Information Services.

Eric will join TP ICAP on 13 November following Frank Desmond’s decision to leave the company after 12 years of service.

During his time at TMX, Eric led the growth of their data business by focussing on strategic partnerships and acquisitions, as well as the development of new products and services, the company’s sales force, and client services.

John Phizackerley, Chief Executive, TP ICAP said: “I am pleased to welcome Eric to TP ICAP. Eric will play an instrumental role as we look to expand our products, services and analytics capabilities, accelerating our plans to develop our Information Services division. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Frank for his tremendous dedication to the company over the years. He has seen the business grow into the world’s leading provider of proprietary data business with a completely unique source of data. I wish him all the very best for the future.”

Eric Sinclair, said: “I am delighted to be joining TP ICAP.

Global exchange revenues totalled a record $28.3 billion in 2016, rising 6.83% as strong revenue gains in exchange market data businesses drove industry growth according to Burton-Taylor International Consulting’s (part of TP ICAP’s Data & Analytics division) latest report published today. Industry revenues were driven by a 29.2% increase in exchange market data businesses, with the segment reporting record revenues of $5.4 billion in 2016.  

Other key findings include:

• Intercontinental Exchange accounted for 15.9% of total industry revenues, with 2016 revenue reaching $4.5 billion, up 34.78% from 2015 primarily a result of an 127.1% surge in market data revenues.
• CME Group remained the next largest exchange in 2016, accounting for 12.7% of total industry revenues, supported by an industry leading 9.1% growth in trading revenues.
• Deutsche Boerse was the largest exchange in the EMEA region accounting for 25.1% of the region’s revenues, followed by the LSE Group with 16.8% of the total.
• Hong Kong Exchange Group was the largest exchange in Asia with a market share of 15.8%, while Japan Stock Exchange was second with a share of 13.6%.
• The exchange industry continues to enjoy enviable operating margins, with our analysis indicating average operating margins of 51.63% in 2016. The Australian Stock Exchange generated the highest margin at 71.90% for calendar year 2016, followed by CME Group at 66.15%.

In terms of business segments, the report found:

• Trading, Clearing and Settlement revenues remained the largest business segment, generating $18.1 billion in industry revenues and accounting for 63.4% of all exchange revenues.
• Market Data & Index revenues have surged in recent years, representing the second largest industry, accounting for 19.18% of total global exchange revenues. Exchange market data revenues have grown at a CAGR of 11.99% since 2011.
• Listing and issuer service revenues stagnated as the weak IPO environment resulted in a 1.29% increase in revenues to $2.3 billion. Deutsche Boerse and the Japan Exchange Group bucked the trend, reporting revenue increases of 7.75% and 6.98%, respectively.
• Market Technology and Access revenues totaled $1.5 billion in 2016, rebounding 4.97% after two years of revenue declines. Nasdaq led the segment in terms of both total revenues and YoY growth, reporting an increase in revenues of 11.8% to $541 million.

“The global exchange industry continues to undergo a steady transformation, as exchanges evolve their models to diversify away from a dependency on transactional businesses. The combination of weak trading volumes and emerging competition is forcing incumbent exchanges to dramatically expand their focus on new business segments,” says Andy Nybo, Director at Burton-Taylor. “Market data and index businesses are the current target of these expansion efforts but exchanges are constantly searching for new opportunities to expand their offerings, especially as new competition threatens to erode existing operating margins and profitability.”

London, June 28, 2017: TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, today announces a number of changes to its senior management team.

David Casterton has been appointed as Vice Chairman of ICAP with immediate effect.

This is a new senior role within the TP ICAP group, reporting directly to John Phizackerley, CEO of TP ICAP. As Vice-Chairman of ICAP, David will work to support the regional and global product and function heads within TP ICAP and will continue to sit on the group’s Global Executive Committee (GEC).

David is now TP ICAP’s most senior representative of the ICAP brand globally. He will relinquish his role as CEO of Global Broking for ICAP, but will now have responsibility for a broad array of advisory and strategic leadership functions, including a range of internal and external mandates relating to the ICAP brand.

Nicolas Breteau will now assume sole responsibility for TP ICAP Global Broking. The regional heads of Global Broking will each report to Nicolas. All four global business lines now report to a single leader, further streamlining of TP ICAP’s overall management structure.

Finally, Nick Deflora will step down from his role as CEO ICAP Americas and Deputy CEO TP ICAP Americas at the end of December. John Abularrage will assume sole leadership for the Region on January 1, continuing as CEO for TP ICAP for the Americas region, and overseeing Global Broking for both brands.

Commenting on the changes, John Phizackerley, CEO of TP ICAP said:

“I am looking forward to working even more closely with David who, having spent nine years as part of ICAP’s Global Executive Management Group, has shown a deep global knowledge in the business and the markets in which it operates. He is the ideal person to ensure that the ICAP brand continues to have a persuasive advocate and strong voice among the leadership of the firm. His experience and input will continue to be invaluable to me and to TP ICAP as a whole.”

“I am very pleased that Nicolas is taking responsibility for Global Broking across both Tullett Prebon and ICAP. He is an experienced and proven leader with an extensive track record across our industry.”

“I’d also like to thank Nick for his outstanding contribution to ICAP, and in the last few months, to TP ICAP. His deep industry and client knowledge will be sorely missed, as will his wit and can-do attitude. Nick's commitment to stay on to deliver a smooth transition over the rest of the year is typical of his professionalism and commitment to the firm. I look forward to working with Nick and John Abularrage over the next few months to ensure this transition is as seamless as possible.”

Tullett Prebon, ICAP and their associated brands will continue to operate separately and they will continue to compete. There is no change to the regional management structure as a result of today’s announcement.
