How Much Did The 5 Largest European Investment Banks Make Through Equity Trading In Q1?
The 5 largest European investment banks generated $3.6 billion in total equity trading revenues over Q1 2016 – 28% less than what they made a year ago. While the first quarter of a year is usually the best period for the global equity trading industry, continued weakness in the oil industry resulted in a slump in equity trading activity this time around. While economic indicators for the European region have remained soft over recent months, overall improvements in global economy should help equity trading revenues trend higher in Q2 2016.
These five banks usually account for roughly 25% of the total global equity trading revenues for any given quarter.
