LONDON (dpa-AFX) - London Stock Exchange Group Plc (LSE.L) reported a 17 percent rise in its third-quarter total income to 196.3 million pounds from prior year's 167.4 million pounds, also up 13 percent on organic constant currency basis. Post Trade Services' total income climbed 50 percent to 58.0 million pounds, driven by further sequential growth in treasury management income from clearing operations. Total revenue for the recent quarter amounted to $160.8 million pounds from $150.6 million pounds in the year-ago period, while improving 2% on an organic and constant currency basis. Capital Markets' revenues were down 4 percent with growth in annual fee income, derivatives revenues and Italian cash equities trading offset by lower IPO activity and weaker fixed income and UK cash equities trading. In addition, the board expects continuing good overall Group performance during the final quarter of the fiscal year, reflecting the resilience of the business and strength of the portfolio's offering.
