SEPTEMBER 2007 U.S. TRADING
STATISTICS

NEW YORK, NY, October 8, 2007 — Investment Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE: ITG), a leading provider of technology-based trading services and transaction research, today announced that September 2007 U.S. trading volume was 3.4 billion shares and average daily volume (ADV) was 177 million shares.  This compares to 3.4 billion shares and ADV of 171 million shares in September 2006 and 5.7 billion shares and ADV of 247 million shares in August 2007.

 

There were 19 trading days in September 2007, compared to 20 trading days in September 2006 and 23 trading days in August 2007.

 

“September volumes reflected a slow down in the market after August’s record levels,” said Howard Naphtali, Chief Financial Officer at ITG. “In this environment, we saw many of our key institutional clients reduce their overall trading activity.”

 

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.
