Colin Lambert, Editor of Profit & Loss, interviews David Mercer, LMAX Exchange CEO, on his thoughts regarding the shift towards clients focusing more on the cost of trade. David comments that the revenue generated begins with the spread, and in the last five to ten years as spreads have tightened there is now a natural shift towards clients focusing on the cost to trade, which includes the cost to report, the cost to clear and the aggregation fees associated.
