ADDRESS BY HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESSTHE CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN
Address by His Imperial HighnessThe Crown Prince of Japanat the Gala Dinner of the WorldFederation of Exchanges 44th General Assembly 13 October 2004 in Tokyo
Reprinted with the kind permission of the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
I am very pleased that the World Federation of Exchanges44th General Assembly was brought to a successful con-clusion with the participation of representatives fromexchanges around the world.
Three centuries have passed since the first securities market was established in the 17th century. With the modernization of national economies, securities marketshave now developed to the point that they are regarded asnational assets which are indispensable to the social andeconomic activities of individual countries.
Exchanges have several important tasks as the centers ofsecurities markets, which directly connect securitiesissuers with investors who offer funds. These tasksinclude encouraging the active and accurate disclosure ofinformation by companies, as well as deepening the public’s understanding of securities investment. I myself have long had great interest in water transporta-tion. Hubs of water transportation are centers of trade, and
it is there that commerce flourishes and securities mar-kets, which support economic activities in the field offinance, exist there. In fact, adjacent to the place wherethe Tokyo Stock Exchange stands are commercial areaswhich have prospered through the ages, and canals stillexist there. Nearby, there was also a landmark bridgecalled Kaiun-bashi, or “Marine Transportation Bridge.” Thisis where the residence of the naval magistrate was locatedduring the Edo Period. I find this link fascinating.
In our world of today, where the operations of securitiesmarkets cross borders and oceans and continue tobroaden, I believe it is very meaningful that representa-tives of the leading exchanges in the world have convenedto deepen mutual understanding. I hope that all gatheredhere today will make even further efforts toward develop-ing securities markets from "national assets" into “globalassets.”
Thank you.
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Japan
LETTER FROMTHE SECRETARY GENERAL
4
The state of the exchange industry in 2004 was heart-ening for several reasons. First, the gains in nearly all
the equity indices world-wide confirmed the trend towardmore vigorous global economic growth, and followed theadvances made in every member market in 2003.Enterprises were participating in that growth and enablingit to happen. For details, please see “2004 MarketHighlights”.
Second, the gains in valuation in 2004 were accompaniedby higher trading volumes. This took place in nearly everyFederation member market. Given that the financial services industry was hit by several storms over the pastfew years, the volume figures reflect a return of investorconfidence.
Enhancing trust in public capital markets has been thecentral work of many exchanges. The Federation’s keyreport in 2004 was on market quality issues tied to the regulatory work that exchanges perform in conjunctionwith public authorities. The themes of this survey are notedin this Annual Report.
Last year, high level contacts with IOSCO (the InternationalOrganization of Securities Commissions) were designed togive national regulators insight into the market operators’concerns on policy, as well as on efficiency as regulatorycosts rise. In addition to these and other ongoing ties withfinancial policy leaders world-wide, in 2004 several memberexchanges and WFE were invited to become directly involvedin the work of the United Nations Global Compact initiativefor socially responsible investment. Further information isfound in the External Relations section of this report.
Under the chairmanship of Russell Loubser, CEO of the JSE Securities Exchange, South Africa, last year theFederation’s Working Committee explored the handling ofconflicts of interest in the financial services sector, andreported on the trends in extending exchange businessservices more widely.
The Committee also guided the program development fortwo workshops, the first for exchange chief financial officers hosted by Deutsche Boerse, and the second on corporate communications hosted by Bolsa Mexicana deValores. Vice Chairman Takuo Tsurushima hosted theindustry’s leaders at the WFE General Assembly and AnnualMeeting in Tokyo in October. Outlines of these activities arefound in the “Events” section of this report.
The majority of WFE members run diversified operations,including markets for futures and options, where year-on-year growth was again strong in 2004. Most also providepost-trade services. In this report, highlights are givenfrom the IOMA/IOCA Annual Meeting (International OptionsMarkets Association/International Options ClearingAssociation), which was organized by the Osaka SecuritiesExchange in collaboration with WFE. Data from the IOMAAnnual Survey indicate that these markets remain on ahigh-growth trajectory.
In a time of rapidly changing technology and shifting regulation, the exchanges of WFE have been leaders inanticipating demand and adapting to new commercial con-ditions. The WFE Cost and Revenue Survey, carried out inassociation with Duke University, bears out that these keyactors in financial services continue to develop their coreresponsibilities while innovating commercially. The keyfindings from that survey are included in this AnnualReport, too.
None of these accomplishments would have been possi-ble without the commitment of exchanges, the carefulguidance given by the Board of Directors, and the leader-ship of the NYSE and its Chief Executive Officer, John A. Thain, who served as WFE Chairman in 2004.
My colleagues at the WFE office enabled this work to bewell executed.

The Annual Meeting opened for a series of business policy roundtables. The topics addressed were of signifi-cance to the financial services industry world-wide, andinvestigation of these questions was best conducted bythe leaders of this industry together. Exchanges are adjust-ing their commercial strategies to meet the decade’s capital markets environment, and to assure their partici-pation in defining its development.

standards (IFRS), the new accounting norms; currentquestions in their definition; and possible implicationsof these changes in financial information for exchanges.

As the business model shifts, important questions arise asto the quality of market operations, historically assured bya mix of work done by the exchange and its regulatoryauthority, and how the work of regulation is to be paid for.

WORLD FEDERATION OF EXCHANGES
Summary
The World Federation of Exchanges’ annual memberCost and Revenue Survey, begun in 1991, provides an
overview of member expenses and revenues while analyz-ing data to discover larger trends. Information is collectedand organized according to exchange legal status, geog-raphy, and size. Comparison of 2003 to 2002 data exhibitseffects of changes in the economic, legal, and accountingcontext in which the exchanges operate.
Unlike both demutualized exchanges and listed exchanges,not all member-owned exchanges are run for profit.Consequently, review of WFE member data necessitates firsta breakdown by exchange legal status. Overall, this annualreport analyzes data in three ways: by legal status, geo-graphic region, and 10 largest exchanges versus all others.
Some key observations that are included in the report:
• Member-owned, limited company exchanges was thefastest growing of the five categories over the past year.
• Total equity capital across all exchanges increased from$15.4 billion1 in 2002 to $16.2 billion in 2003, a 5% changeafter correcting for US dollar depreciation over the period.
• Profitability varies considerably among exchanges,whether sorted by legal or geographic categorization,indicating that both local (idiosyncratic) and global factors have an impact on ROE.
• Most exchanges showed increases in both earnings and net income.
• The industry overall shows evidence of considerablepolarization, so that a small number of the largerexchanges account for the lion’s share of both equitycapital and revenues among all WFE member exchanges.
- Two European exchanges alone account for approxi-mately 30% of the equity capital across all WFE mem-ber exchanges.
- For equity and derivatives trading, the 10 largestexchanges dominate, accounting for 71% and 60% ofall product revenues, respectively.
- The 10 largest exchanges also account for approxi-mately 50% of transaction-related revenues across allWFE member exchanges.
• Total revenues in 2003 were $6.41 billion, a 4% increasefrom 2002. The most important source of revenue for allexchanges is from trading, accounting for 38% of totalrevenues. Services (including information dissemination,clearing and IT sales) comes a close second, at 35%.
• Trading revenues in derivatives grew sharply by volumein 2003, while trading revenues in equities was slightlyreduced, which might have been expected to coincidewith lower trading volumes and fees. Trading in equities is the historical basis for this industry, and ofmembership.
• The most important products traded across allexchanges are equities, accounting for just over 50%of all exchanges’ trading revenues. Derivatives accountfor about 35% of trading revenues. The European andAsian exchanges both show nearly as much revenuefrom derivatives as from equities, while in theAmericas, almost all of the revenue comes from equitytrading.
• Total trading revenues across all products and exchangesin 2003, at $2.36 billion, was almost unchanged from2002 at $2.39 billion.
• The vast majority (about 80%) of trading revenue feesare generated by transaction fees, while membership/access fees account for about 15%, and IT fees theremaining 5%.
• The largest portion of costs across exchanges is compensation (salaries and benefits), accounting forapproximately 35% of costs. Costs have remained relatively stable across the industry between 2002 and 2003.

SURVEY: 2003 COSTAND REVENUE (CONTINUED)
While this report endeavors to exhibit a broad and com-prehensive survey of the relative costs and revenues ofmember exchanges, certain limitations must be noted. Tobegin, the survey does not include financial informationfrom the American Stock Exchange, The Chicago Board OfTrade (CBOT) or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings(CME) and therefore underestimates the relative size ofthe “Americas” exchanges and may additionally misstatecertain relative profitability data between different geographic areas.
Additionally, comparison of financial figures amongexchanges may be influenced by the use of differentaccounting systems. Some members adhere to IAS stan-dards, while others follow national GAAP standards.
Further, the financial data reported in this presentation aregiven in US dollars. When comparing between 2002 and2003 data, we take account of the impact of significantdollar depreciation over the period by using 2003 exchangerates throughout. Where relevant, we also consider howthese numbers differ when using dollar exchange ratesthat applied in each year.

Summary
Most exchanges believe that regulation is a part of theirbrand, and most exchanges are engaged in market regula-tion. Many continue to license trading members and super-vise clearing and settlement activities. Many continue toregulate listed company disclosure and corporate gover-nance. The costs of regulation are a significant portion ofexchange operating expenses, although the answers toquestions about costs in this survey were somewhat dis-appointing in terms of genuine comparability for the group.Some exchanges did not respond to these questions, andsome answers seemed somewhat arbitrary, and perhapseven erroneous due to diverse costing measures.
A majority of exchanges wished their answers to remainconfidential. Whether they wished all or only someanswers to be confidential was unclear, so this report givesall exchanges anonymity.
Most, if not all, exchanges expressed the view that theirregulatory responsibilities would not change in the nextyear, but that response seemed more of a hope than a real-ity. Exchange regulation is clearly in a state of flux. Perhapsan inability by exchanges to fully understand or controlwhat is happening to the exchange markets and to theirregulation explains some of the difficulties exchanges hadin answering the questions. Perhaps that is an importantconclusion in itself.
Another possible impediment to clearer responses is thatas exchanges become commercial enterprises in a globalcapital market, they are all competitors on some level. Thatalso makes giving quantitative information a sensitive matter. But if most exchanges become public companiesin the future, they will have to learn how to disclose finan-cial information in an accurate and fulsome manner. A goodexercise for any exchange contemplating a public offeringwould be to look at the U.S. SEC requirements for aManagement Discussion and Analysis in an annual reportand see if it is willing or able to make such a presentation.
Conclusion
Regulation by exchanges is changing rapidly due to newlaws, new trading platforms, technology, demutualizationand globalization. Public confidence in the securitiesindustry generally and exchange regulation has beenshaken by the numerous scandals in the U.S. and else-where since the bursting of the technology bubble in 2000.There is a risk that exchanges will lose their power to regulate their markets, market participants and listedcompanies. Both exchanges and investors would be poorlyserved if such an eventuality occurs. Virtually allexchanges believe that regulation is a part of their brand,and that they should make every effort to maintain theirregulatory authority by adapting to changing market conditions and changing laws by the creative use of technology and creative solutions to the new conflicts ofinterest which are emerging from new markets and neworganizational forms.
SURVEY: REGULATION OF MARKETS
15
On behalf of IOMA/IOCA, WFE conducted this surveywith the assistance of Stephen Wells. Excerpts follow.
Introduction
It is a strange industry where a 31% annual growth can bedescribed as slowing down, but that is the fact for the deriv-atives exchanges. 2003 saw contract volumes rising to anew record high just short of 8 billion contracts, from 6 bnin the previous year. The rebound of equity markets during2003 no doubt contributed to the buoyant growth, but it isinteresting that volumes actually rose by 39% in 2002 whenequity markets were falling. This suggests instead a matur-ing of derivatives investment as users exploit the risk trans-ference function as well as speculative uses.
The 31% growth of overall contract volumes showed dif-ferential movements in options and futures. The growth infutures was almost identical to that of the previous year,28%. Options volumes increased more rapidly at 33%, butthe rate of growth was significantly reduced from the previous year.
The differential growth in options and, indeed, much of thegrowth generally reflects the effect of the KOSPI IndexOption on the Korea Stock Exchange. This contract alonerepresented some 55% of all options volumes in 2003.Stripping out the effect of the KSE index options the annualgrowth in 2003 was 17% - almost exactly equal to the figure for 2002.
The mention of the KSE index option marks a good pointat which to discuss volume measurement. It is clear thatthe enormous success of the KSE contract, which is a relatively low value contract targeted at retail investors,raises a question about how best to measure derivativemarkets. A similar debate in cash markets was resolvedin favour of measuring value of assets traded. This is nota perfect solution but, to quote Churchill on democracy, “ itis the worst possible system apart from all the others”.
Derivatives markets have traditionally measured theirturnover in contracts traded. Exchanges defined contractsizes to suit their users. For a single exchange comparingactivity in terms of contracts traded over time, this is fine– and makes business sense, since the contract is usuallythe basis for charging.
The difficulty arises when looking at volumes across dif-ferent exchanges, since there is no reason why contractson one exchange should be comparable with contracts onanother exchange, even in similar products.
The desire for comparable data has led to a number of sug-gestions to solve this problem, but the most widelyaccepted has been the underlying value of the assets rep-resented by the derivative. Other possibilities have beendiscussed – the FIA in its annual review makes an eloquentcase for a risk-based measure. But pragmatism – usingwhat is available - has won the day, and underlying valuehas been adopted by the WFE after consulting with IOMA.

Focus on economic impact
We have discussed the use of underlying value as a meas-ure of exchange activity and concluded that for many pur-poses, such as looking at year-to-year growth, contractvolumes are generally adequate. However, the underlyingvalue figures are important, since for a user they do repre-sent the economic interest or potential economic impact ofa derivative position. With this in mind, it is interesting tolook at comparative underlying values to see where theconcentration of economic interest lies. In this section, welook at the underlying value figures for equity and interestrate products, for regions and for individual exchanges.
We should add a slight word of caution at this point. Thecalculation/estimation of underlying value is not entirelyconsistent across exchanges, and for some exchanges wehave had to estimate values where none were availablefrom the institutions themselves. That said, we have a gooddegree of confidence that the calculations and estimatesare adequate for the analysis given here, and that we candraw broad conclusions.
In terms of underlying value, the US market remains thedominant region for single stock derivatives, representingnearly twice the value of Europe and four times that ofAsia. The development of single stock futures has so farby-passed the US, with the Asian region having significantunderlying value in single stock futures – actually NSEIwith an underlying value in stock futures of $ 198 billion.
Looking at individual exchanges, the 10 exchanges withthe largest underlying value in single equity productsaccount for 96% of the total for all exchanges. As onewould expect, US exchanges make up half of the top 10,with the two major cross-border European exchanges alsopresent. BOVESPA saw more than a tripling of its underly-ing value in single equity products in 2003. NSEI has beenmentioned and is the only exchange apart from Euronextand Spanish Exchanges and RTS (both in the “Other”column on the graph) with significant underlying value insingle equity futures.
In index products, the dominance of the US market is lesspronounced than in single equity derivatives. Note that thegraph scales are approximately 10 times the scale for sin-gle equity derivatives. The European markets have beengrowing rapidly and approach the size of the US market.Some Asian markets have also been growing rapidly –indeed index derivatives have enjoyed more widespreadacceptance in Asia that any other type of derivative.

IOMA 2003 MARKET SURVEY (CONTINUED)
However, among individual exchanges the concentrationis far greater than in single equity products. The top 4exchanges – the two Chicago equity exchanges and thetwo largest European exchanges - represent 80% of globalunderlying value in index derivatives, compared to 50% insingle equity products. Asian exchanges make up 5 of theremaining 6 in the ten largest index derivative exchanges.KSE, which represents over 84% of all index option volume,only accounts for 5% of underlying value, making it thesixth in the world and the second in Asia in terms of indexderivative underlying value.
The polarisation shown by index derivatives can be seenin a more extreme form in interest rate derivatives.Measured by underlying value, interest derivatives areextremely small outside the US and European markets.Indeed, the underlying values in the two markets are similar for STIR products, but the underlying value of the US market for LTIR products is considerably smaller than in Europe.

Singapore and Tokyo trading in interest derivatives repre-sent the only significant underlying values in Asian markets. The dominance of futures over options confirmsthat interest rate derivatives tend to be institutional prod-ucts rather than retail, and the strongest growth in Asianmarkets has continued to be in retail-oriented products.
Looking at individual exchanges, the polarisation is yetmore extreme. The two Chicago exchanges and the twolarger European exchanges account for 95% of the globalunderlying value.
Within different underlying product maturities the resultsshow a segmentation in Europe, with Eurex dominating theunderlying value in LTIR derivatives and Euronext dominat-ing in STIR derivatives. Euronext and CME represent 90%
of exchange 2003 global underlying value in STIR deriva-tives. EUREX alone represents 63% of underlying value inLTIR derivatives.
These results on economic impact in both equity and interest rate derivatives show a surprising degree of continuing concentration, given the opening and growth ofother derivative markets. It confirms what is obvious,namely that bigger economies mean bigger exchanges. Butbeyond that, it may also suggest something more. It is easier for derivative exchanges to offer exposure to non-domestic underlying assets than it is for cash marketexchanges, and this is for two reasons:
• the settlement issues that exercise cash markets areless of a problem, especially where derivatives can becash-settled
• the asymmetric information issues that tend to holdunderlying stock trading to the home market are lessapparent in index products, which are the staple ofequity derivative trading
This means that derivative positions are more fungible thancash market positions. It is possible that the concentrationthat has often been predicted for underlying trading, espe-cially in equities, but which has been thwarted by the tworeasons given above, may become a fact in derivativestrading, at least for some of the broader asset classes. Theidea of a major dominant exchange in each time zone ispossibly feasible in derivatives, where it has not provedpossible in cash products. In time, we shall see how thisplays out, and what other factors may be at work.

WORLD FEDERATION OF EXCHANGES
The World Federation of Exchanges maintains workingrelations with public policy and private sector profes-
sional bodies of importance to the capital markets. In 2004,this representation of the member exchanges’ businessinterests was keyed to:
Global policy making forums
IOSCO (International Organisation of Securities Commissions)
Regular exchanges of information are organized betweenthe WFE and IOSCO Board of Directors and TechnicalCommittee, and the two secretariats. The focus of discus-sion remained market structure issues, fairness, and theeconomic trade-off between the burdens of increasing regulation in recent years and benefits accrued to users ofpublic markets over that period.
OECD (Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development)
In 2004, WFE’s work with OECD centered on the revisedversion of its Principles of Corporate Governance. TheOECD introduced fresh investor powers and board dutiesin an update of principles ordered by G-7 leaders five yearsago. The WFE Secretariat took part in, and commented on,the Steering Group’s review of the new draft benchmarks.
Concerning capital market development, the WFE shares itsongoing work on business standards, the Federation’sMarket Principles. Also, the Secretariat has offered its com-ments and made suggestions on OECD documentation inthis field. In addition, the OECD’s leaders speak regularly atWFE events. The OECD’s Director for Financial, Fiscal andEnterprise Affairs will be addressing delegates in June 2005at the WFE Forum on Developing Exchanges in Beijing. Suchinteraction enables OECD leaders to interact with managersof exchanges, to the benefit of all parties.
IFAC (International Federation of Accountants)
WFE represents exchanges on the International Federationof Accountants’ external advisory group. The group’s pur-pose is to express the viewpoint of users of financialreporting on the standards being developed for audit andassurance work. The review work can become verydetailed, as the interaction between auditors and corpora-tions is evolving in today’s business environment. The goal
pursued by WFE and IFAC is better financial reporting forthe users of the capital markets.
IBA (International Bar Association)
In 2004, WFE focused on interacting with the Capital MarketsForum of the IBA. WFE materials on regulatory issues havebeen circulated within the legal community, as a matter ofpublic information sent to the legal community on businessissues specific to the regulated financial exchanges industry.
United Nations Global Compact
Founded by the U. N. in 2000, the Global Compact is a vol-untary international corporate citizenship network initiatedto support the participation of both the private sector andother social actors to advance responsible corporate citi-zenship and universal social and environmental principlesto meet the challenges of globalization. The interests of cap-ital markets actors are involved here, and in 2004 the GlobalCompact and WFE held their first joint meetings.
Regional exchange federations
As a matter of efficiency in the task of promoting finan-cial exchanges, WFE shares its materials with regional
exchange federations. Several of these have been foundedover the years to suit business purposes specific to certainparts of the world. The following texts introduce them briefly.
AOSEF (Asian and Oceanian StockExchanges Federation)
The Asian and Oceanian Stock Exchanges Federation cur-rently comprises 15 stock exchanges. It originated in 1982as an informal organization called the East Asian StockExchanges Conference. Its objectives were to promotefriendship and to facilitate an information dialogue amongmember exchanges.
Facilitating communications among member exchangesand the management of day-to-day AOSEF affairs is theresponsibility of the standing Secretariat. The services ofthe Secretariat have been provided by the Tokyo StockExchange since the beginning.
The 2004 General Assembly was held in Singapore. The keyreports given were on “Market Information Sharing” and“Liquidity of Small Cap Stocks.”
REPRESENTATION OF THEEXCHANGE INDUSTRY
23
REPRESENTATION OF THEEXCHANGE INDUSTRY (CONTINUED)
FEAS (Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges)
FEAS was established in May 1995, and currently there are 25 bourses which participate. Membership in theFederation is open to stock exchanges in Europe and Asia. The mission of FEAS is to create fair, efficient and trans-parent market environments, with little or no barriers totrade, between the FEAS members and in their operatingregions. Harmonization of rules and regulations and adop-tion of new technology for trading and settlement by mem-ber securities markets will facilitate the objectives of FEASby promoting the development of the member markets andproviding cross-border trading opportunities for securitiesissued within FEAS member countries.The founding members selected Istanbul as the head-quarters for the Federation's Secretariat.
FESE (Federation of European Securities Exchanges)
In recent years, European securities exchanges have risento the challenges of an evolving business in a number ofways, such as increasing the number of hours during whichtrading can take place to increase access, introducing market-making and block-trading to increase liquidity,refining order handling and execution systems to increaseefficiency and to reduce settlement times, improving infor-mation systems to increase transparency and access, anddeveloping new and imaginative investment instrumentsto enhance investment options.
In this time of change and increasing international com-petition, the Federation of European Securities Exchanges(FESE) exists to represent the collective interests ofEuropean exchanges as they seek to improve their individ-ual and collective efficiency and effectiveness.
The Federation focuses on the European institutions: theCommission, Parliament and Council, as well as theCommittee of European Securities Regulators (CESR)and other regulators such as the United States SEC andCFTC.
FIAB (Federation of Ibero-AmericanExchanges)
The 19 exchange members of FIAB cover the Spanish andPortuguese language jurisdictions. The FIAB mission is to:
• foster cooperation among its members, in order to promote the development and advancement of theirsecurities markets, in the best interests of all marketparticipants
• cooperate with national and international entities having legislative, regulatory, or other functions inrespect of financial and securities markets with a viewto ensuring homogeneous standards and regulations asto securities issuance, circulation, distribution, and registration; trading; issuers; brokers; securities mar-kets; securities depositories and custodians; as well asin connection with any fiscal and other issues deemedto be relevant to market development
• promote integration of the Federation's stock markets,stimulating inter-activity among market participants aswell as the free circulation, within their respective juris-dictions, of securities issued in any of its members'home countries
• encourage the establishment of rules and proceduresensuring solvency, competence, legitimacy, and fairinformation disclosure to all savers investing throughMember Exchanges.
SAFE (South Asian Federation of Exchanges)
