ITG recently reported its trading volumes for the month ending September 2015. This included a volume of 2.6 billion shares during September 2015, which was good for a decline of -7.1% MoM from 2.8 billion shares in August 2015. Moreover, ITG’s average daily volume (ADV) in September 2015 came in at 122 million shares, down -8.9% MoM from 134 million shares in August 2015.

September’s downtrend in volumes represents a consecutive monthly retreat at ITG. The notable decline in volumes as of late is likely tied to ITG’s recent brush with regulatory authorities, which has caused a continual outflow of its existing business. In late July, ITG as well as its affiliate AlterNet Securities, agreed to collectively pay $20.3 million to settle charges over the breach of dark pool trading confidentiality with the US’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
