Markit and General Atlantic: The Future of Trade Processing

In January 2010, GA invested in Markit, a leading global provider of independent financial data, valuation tools and trade processing infrastructure across asset classes. The addition of General Atlantic as a significant shareholder positions Markit for continued long-term growth and adds a proven investor in financial sector innovation to Markit's existing diverse shareholder base. General Atlantic will assist Markit actively in developing its growth strategy further and executing value-creating acquisitions.
