GFI Group Honors Nation's Injured Service Men and Women on Its Broking Floor

NEW YORK, NY, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
GFI Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GFIG) will pay tribute to injured service members
and veterans during an event it will hold on Wednesday, November 4th,
with the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) at GFI's headquarters in downtown
New York. GFI will have the honor of contributing to the remarkable work
the BWF carries out amongst our nation's injured members of the armed
forces.

The day will include service men and women and their families on GFI's
broking floor working alongside brokers to experience firsthand the daily
activities of an inter-dealer broker.

The BWF is a national nonprofit that helps ensure the return of injured
service members to a home front ready to support them. The Foundation's
mission is to provide resources and support to injured service members,
veterans and their families, especially those who have sustained the
"Hidden Injuries of War" back into their communities so they may thrive
physically, psychologically, socially and economically.

Colin Heffron, President of GFI Group, said: "We are committed to helping
the Bob Woodruff Foundation in its outstanding work at finding and funding
the best and most effective programs to ensure that our injured heroes and
their families have successful futures," and added, "We have a debt of
gratitude to these brave men and women that have put their lives at risk
for the well being of us all."

GFI has supported the Bob Woodruff Foundation for over three years and is
a key sponsor of BWF's annual "Stand Up For Heroes: A Benefit for the Bob
Woodruff Foundation at Town Hall in New York" that will take place on the
evening of November 4th.
