Management Commentary
”The increase in volatility and customer engagement we saw in early October continued through the remainder of the quarter driven by several macroeconomic events, including Brexit and the U.S. presidential election. As a result, Q4 2016 saw an improvement of approximately 50% in retail revenue per million compared to the Q3 2016 trailing twelve month capture rate,” remarked Glenn Stevens, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe political and macro-economic events in 2017 could be catalysts for continued growth in client engagement over the course of the year and would anticipate that over such period revenue capture rates will likely revert to Q3 2016 trailing twelve month levels,” concluded Mr. Stevens.
