Despite uncertainty in the global economy, we attracted an increased number of new issuers to our equity markets compared to 2010 and continue to provide an attractive venue for raising capital. In our derivatives markets, MX continued to set new records for volumes and open interest and we witnessed significant strength in BOX's performance compared with 2010.  We also launched a host of new products, services and platforms across our businesses during the year."

Partially offsetting this decreased revenue was strength in our derivatives business, both from MX and BOX, as well as continued growth driven by recent product offerings from our information services operation. Our costs were higher in the fourth quarter compared with the fourth quarter of last year as we continue to deploy new technologies and add resources to generate growth.”continue to deploy new technologies and add resources to generate growth.”
