ICAP plc (IAP.L), a leading markets operator and provider of post trade risk mitigation and information services, announces today that it has raised £8.2 million on its 24th annual global Charity Day, held yesterday. This is equivalent to approximately 4% of ICAP’s pre-tax trading profit reported for the year ended 31st March 2016.
Michael Spencer, Group Chief Executive Officer of ICAP, said: "I’m incredibly proud that yesterday ICAP Charity Day raised £8.2 million. This brings the total amount raised over 24 years to nearly £135 million. I’d like to thank each and every one of our customers, employees, suppliers and our distinguished guests for their dedication and goodwill. Without them, this simply would not have been possible. The amount raised will make a tangible difference to hundreds of charities around the world and I look forward to continuing to raise funds for much need charitable causes with NEX Group.”
On Charity Day, 100% of ICAP’s revenues and 100% of its brokers’ commissions from the day go directly to charities. This year ICAP supported 200 charities globally, having supported more than 2,200 charities since the first Charity Day in 1993.
