  23. The interdealer broking industry • Overall OTC broking market revenues, excluding equities – $4 billion in 2001 • Strong underlying market growth • Historically fragmented but changing extremely rapidly, consolidation driven by: • Merger of customers • Increasing impact of technology • Weakess of some balance sheets • Operational leverage and economies of scale • Difficult to attract liquidity to new platforms eg Instinet and ATRIAX recently closed

  24. Outlook for the industry • Most “traditional” firms ill-equipped to face the changing environment • Smaller niche businesses may continue • Of “traditional” brokers, currently only ICAP and Cantor/E-speed are able to compete in electronic broking • Conceptually flawed, customer owned consortia brokers will eventually merge or be sold • After the shake out, there will not be more than two/three global interdealer brokers

  25. Adding value with technology • Automation, including STP, to create improved efficiency, cost reduction and economies of scale • Adoption of electronic broking remains a gradual process in most markets • ICAP hybrid model most suitable to e-broking • Pure electronic trading really only suits liquid and vanilla markets. Difficult for derivatives eg interest rate swaps • Electronic broking will initially be financially painful, but ultimately will be more profitable with information sales, increased trading volumes, higher market share and potentially a wider customer base

  26. Growth • Underlying market growth rates • Expanding market share – 20% in 2001 • Operational leverage • Converting the direct market • Product innovation

  27. Information Services • Increasing value of information – fewer and bigger IDBs • Core customers - data vendors • Added value products

  28. Strategy for ICAP • Extend strong global position in voice and electronic broking • Expansion of market share • Improve capability in the energy market • Acquisitions with overall strategic fit, strong market positions or relevant technology • eg. First Broker Securities

  29. Summary • Excellent results under the circumstances • Competitive landscape altered, ICAP’s leading position underlined • Attractive growth potential • Underlying strong market volume growth, so far markets continue to be busy this year • Multiple acquisition opportunities • Good return on capital • Profit target for 2002/3 of £100m
