Execution Services revenue mix measures how much consolidated revenue comes from the execution-services segment.
A simple analytical form is:
Execution Services Revenue Mix
= Execution Services Revenue ÷ Total Revenue
Why it matters
The mix helps investors distinguish client execution and workflow economics from the firm's larger principal market-making operation.
Investor caution
A changing mix can reflect growth in either segment, acquisitions, divestitures, or unusual trading conditions.
The percentage is an analytical ratio built from issuer-reported segment revenue, not a separately standardized accounting metric.

Execution Services revenue mix describes business composition, not segment profitability.
Part of the Market Making Operating Model
Connect trading income, direct transaction and financing economics, daily normalization, and Market Making versus Execution Services segment mix to understand electronic market-making economics.
How the model fits together
- Spread capture and daily trading intensity: Trading Income, Net captures realized and unrealized trading gains and losses, while Adjusted Net Trading Income broadens the view to related commissions, financing income, financing expense, and direct transaction costs. Average daily Adjusted Net Trading Income divides that issuer-defined measure by a normalized trading-day denominator. These measures are related but should not be treated as standardized industry profitability metrics.
- Direct trading revenue and cost bridge: Trading income, interest and dividends income, and commissions plus technology services contribute to the trading revenue base, while brokerage, exchange, clearance, order-flow, interest, and dividend expenses offset that economics. Virtu combines these lines in its non-GAAP Adjusted Net Trading Income framework, so the bridge is issuer-defined rather than a universal accounting subtotal.
- Market Making and Execution Services mix: Market Making revenue captures the principal liquidity-provision segment while Execution Services revenue captures the client-oriented execution and workflow business. Their revenue-mix ratios show consolidated business composition, not segment profitability or a standardized measure of trading risk.
