* This figure includes the impact of initially unsettled matched transactions. Usually, in a matched principal transaction, both sides settle on the same day. Occasionally, for various reasons, only one side of the transaction may settle giving rise to a temporary cash position which reverses on the completion of the other side of the transaction, normally within 24 hours.

Innovation: new markets

Project Background

Shipping (ICAP Hyde)

  • Double digit industrial growth in China driving demands for

raw materials

Insurance (ICAP JLT)

  • US$26,000 billion annual risk market
  • US$50 billion hedging market
  • Inefficient capital allocation and price discovery
  • Dealer and insurer interest in new risk transfer

mechanisms for life and catastrophe.

slide-26

Innovation: electronic markets

  • Prices become more transparent
  • Bid-ask spreads contract
  • Commissions contract
  • Algorithmic trading commences

  • Market structure changes
  • Barriers to entry rise

In electronic markets … … the rules are different

1.

Market growth rates are much higher than in a voice environment

2.

Technology creates new trading techniques

3.

The normal market structure is two competing platforms, rather than many voice brokers
