Cutting targets
On Tuesday, the London broker said it is reducing its annualized cost savings target for 2019. The target has been reduced from around £100 million ($132.46 million) down to £75 million ($99.35 million). This is because the company needed to invest to meet evolving industry trends, such as spending on MiFID II, Brexit and legal and IT costs, the statement said.
Phizackerley had set the previous savings target as part of the integration of its £1.3 billion purchase of the global broker business of ICAP.
The company also informed that the increased finance costs would rise to around £40 million. However, the statement added that revenues for the six months to June 30 this year were three percent higher than the same period last year.
Following the news, shares in the broker-dealer fell as much as 29 percent in early trading to 298 pence a share.
