FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Investment Technology Group Releases

September 2006 U.S. Trading Statistics

NEW YORK, NY, October 9, 2006 – Investment Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE: ITG), a leading provider of technology-based trading services and transaction research, today announced that September 2006 U.S. trading volume was 3.4 billion shares and average daily volume (ADV) was a record 171 million shares.  This compares to 3.3 billion shares and ADV of 142 million shares in August 2006 and 2.4 billion shares and ADV of 114 million shares in September 2005.

There were 20 trading days in September 2006, compared to 23 trading days in August 2006 and 21 trading days in September 2005.

“ITG’s U.S. trading volumes remained robust in September.  However, the anticipated seasonal softening in Europe reduced our average daily revenues to approximately £88,000 for the third quarter,” said Howard Naphtali, ITG’s Chief Financial Officer.

Monthly volume statistics reflect commission-generating U.S. volume.  These statistics are preliminary and may be revised in subsequent updates and public filings.  Volume statistics are posted on ITG’s website, www.itg.com, and are available via a downloadable spreadsheet file.
