Management Commentary
"During the first three months of the year, GAIN's continued success in driving organic growth, coupled with our strong ability to capitalize on the return of market volatility, resulted in a revenue per million figure in-line with our target run rate of approximately $105," said Glenn Stevens, Chief Executive Officer. "Client engagement continued to improve in March, highlighted by retail average daily trading volume of $11.9 billion and ECN average daily volume of $14.4 billion, up 14% and 22% year-over-year, respectively, reiterating our belief that volatility in the markets is creating a more attractive trading environment for GAIN's customer base."
