________________ Note 1: Daily Average Revenue Trades
(DARTs) – customer orders divided by the number of trading days in
the period.
Note 2: FDIC insured client bank deposit sweep program
balances with participating banks. These deposits are not reported
in the Company’s statement of financial condition.
Note 3: Commissionable Order – a customer order that
generates commissions.
Note 4: In connection with our currency diversification
strategy, we have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a
basket of 10 major currencies in which we hold our equity. The
total effect of the currency diversification strategy is reported
in Comprehensive Income and the components are reported in (1)
Other Income and (2) Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) on the
balance sheet. The effect of the GLOBAL on our comprehensive income
can be estimated by multiplying the total equity for the period by
the change in the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL during the same
period.
Note 5: Trade money is the total amount of money clients
spent or received, including all commissions and fees.
Note 6: Consistent with the clients’ trading activity,
the computed VWAP benchmark includes extended trading hours.
