I never forget that the principal asset of our business is its people, and I can assure you that your
company has a team second to none and that therefore I have every condence that the business will
continue to grow and prosper. I can also assure you that senior management and the board of directors
are signicant shareholders, and that therefore your interests and ours are perfectly aligned, and that
shareholder value creation is a continuing priority for us.
Recently, I was privileged to attend a dinner in London hosted by our newly acquired LME team, and
was encouraged to hear that we had been named the top LME broker for 2012. We had more than 260
high-quality customers at the dinner and 600 at the party afterwards – a far cry from the rst corporate
dinner I attended in 2003, when our guest list comprised a grand total of 10 employees and a couple of
directors. The degree to which we have grown over the past decade accentuates for me the fact that
even greater growth is possible over the next 10 years.
Lastly it only remains for me to thank and congratulate our team on another successful year and you,
our shareholders, for your continuing support.
