Industry Analysis of Major Competitors • Fidelity Investments – privately held companies that is currently the largest broker in the industry with 5.2 billion in revenue. • Charles Schwab – Second largest broker with $4.5 billion at year-end 2010. • TD Ameritrade – approximately $2.6 billion in revenues. • E*TRADE ranked fourth with $2.4 billion in revenues.
Industry Trends • During the five years to 2012, revenue for the Financial Data Service Providers industry is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 4.1% to roughly $6.1 billion. Despite the financial markets' turmoil during the recession in 2008 and 2009, many industry operators were able to evade significant losses. During the recession, however, the level of activity from financial institutions, including investment banks, securities brokers and commodity contract dealers, dropped severely. This decline led to a lack of demand for industry services, as these financial institutions comprise the largest downstream market for industry firms. In turn, industry revenue fell 3.1% and 3.4% during 2008 and 2009, respectively • http://www.ibisworld.com/industry/financial-data-service-providers.html • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dP6bWTpq8Q
