StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SNEX) (“StoneX” or the “Company”), today
announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition of
GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GCAP) (“GAIN”), an online
provider of retail foreign exchange trading and related services.

execution services to retail and institutional investors worldwide,
with multiple access points to OTC markets and global exchanges
across a wide range of asset classes, including foreign exchange,
commodities and global equities.
Glenn Stevens, CEO of GAIN, commented on the transaction, “As a
result of this combination, GAIN’s customers will benefit from a
richer product offering, as well as the expanded resources and
greater scale of the combined firm. StoneX, in turn, will add a new
digital platform to its global financial network, significantly
expanding its offering to retail clients, as well as a
complementary futures business. We look forward to a bright
future as part of the StoneX Group.”
Sean O’Connor, CEO of StoneX, added, “This is the beginning of
an exciting new era for our company as we add two of the largest
and best known retail financial-services trading brands in the
world to our global financial services network, in the process more
than doubling the number of active retail accounts we serve to
295,000 worldwide. We expect the integration of GAIN’s businesses
to drive transaction volumes and create new cross-selling
opportunities across all of our platforms – ultimately driving our
financial performance in the process.”
