Q3 Trading Update
19 October 2023

David Schwimmer, CEO said:

“LSEG delivered another quarter of strong, broad-based growth. By building compelling solutions that meet customers’ evolving business needs we have established a consistent track-record of growth in our Data & Analytics business. Our Capital Markets revenues accelerated in the third quarter, with ongoing innovation increasing Tradeweb’s share of global credit trading. Our Post Trade businesses also continue to grow strongly as customers look to our risk management services in an uncertain macro environment. We are confident that growth for the full year will be towards the upper end of the +6-8% guidance range.”
