“After making the necessary enquiries and having performed revenue and cash flow forecasting subject to stress testing, the directors believe that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities for at least 12 months following the date of this report and that the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis remains appropriate as the Group expects to be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events
- “In 2024, we expanded the Alternative Markets Programme's universe by adding single name sovereign CDS, with exposures to economies in North Africa, the Middle East and South America. We also more than doubled the number of single name equities traded, allowing for even more granular trends to be picked up such as the early AI-driven technology sector trend. Moreover, we saw a significant fixed income market expansion with the addition of fourteen instruments of varying geography and tenor including additional points on Thai and Taiwanese curves.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
