Energy & Commodities activity increased 5% in the quarter to £107 million. The numbers were driven by growth in Oil and Power & Gas in the US, while in Europe, Power & Gas declined, as high prices and significant volatility led to lower volumes.

Parameta Solutions, which offers data & analytics and post-trade solutions, registered a 5% increase in revenue to £44million. Parameta Solutions today revealed it has become a FCA-authorised benchmark administrator.

The company highlighted its strategic progress this year so far. TP ICAP hired Mark Govoni as Agency Execution CEO to boost Liquidnet’s growth strategy.
