BEDMINSTER, N.J., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. (“GAIN”) (NYSE: GCAP), a leading global provider of online trading services, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.
“2013 was a transformational year for GAIN, thanks to our acquisition of GFT and the successful execution of organic growth initiatives. The GFT acquisition gave our retail OTC business increased scale, and a broader client base and product offering, while expanding our global presence. We also executed on our revenue diversification strategy through the growth of our commission business, driven by an almost three-fold increase in revenue from our institutional business,” said Glenn Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of GAIN Capital.
“In 2014, we will continue to integrate GFT and we are on track to reduce our combined expense base by $35-$45 million, compared to the two companies’ total pre-acquisition expenses, by the fourth quarter of the year. We also continue to invest in organic growth, especially in our commission-based businesses. To sum up, we believe our greater scale, broader client, product and geographical mix coupled with organic growth initiatives position us for continued growth in 2014,” Mr. Stevens concluded.
