Revenue for the 2023 fiscal year increased by 75%. The company attributed this uptrend to positive organic growth and the “benefit of acquisitions”. This included the ED&F Man Capital Markets division and the Cowen acquisition in December 2023. The firm stated:

Performance was strong across the Group. Revenue rose 75% to $1,245 million and Reported Profit before tax was up 62% to $197 million and Adjusted Operating Profit rose 89% to $230 million.

According to the organisation’s press release, both organic and inorganic growth drove the increase in client activity. It recorded 129 million trades for the 2023 FY, a 122% surge, and contracts cleared spiked by 245%. Based on Marex data, average client balances grew by 45% compared to the 2022 FY.
