My comment:

There is no way of knowing whether they mean "way" or "share", so I'd leave as part, which covers both

My comment:

This is advanced French structure....in English, the phrase is repositioned to start the sentence

A small share or portion [of the transactions] account for the consequences of forex transactions....
OR
They account for a small portion or share

Caveat: not knowing what ILS refers to...people or transactions.
