The company’s expenses for the year dropped to £1.5 million.
It generated revenue of over £2 million in 2024.

The UK unit of London Capital Group (LCG), which operates as an introducing broker, returned to profitability in 2024, mainly because it managed to reduce expenses to £1.5 million from about £7.7 million — a year-on-year drop of 80.5 per cent.
It also received a one-off reimbursement in administrative costs, recognising prior expenses already paid.
The IB Model Pays Off
The latest Companies House filings revealed that the company’s revenue rose to over £2 million in 2024, an increase of nearly 18 per cent from the previous year’s £1.6 million. All of the company’s 2024 revenue came from the UK, in contrast with the prior year when the UK contributed only a third of the revenue, with the rest coming from Europe.
“The strong growth of the Introducing Broker/Partnership business during 2024 and continuing into 2025, coupled with the significant reduction in the company's operating expenses, sees the Company on a sounder footing, and able to explore opportunities for future growth,” the filing stated.
Income statement of LCG UK
LCG changed its business model in 2023, becoming an introducing broker for IG Group — once its direct competitor. The new management team initiated the shift, led by Dave Worsfold as CEO and Matt Basi as Managing Director, both of whom joined in December 2022.
Meanwhile, IG Group recently revealed that it expects to close the ongoing fiscal year 2025 with revenue and adjusted profit that “meet or slightly exceed the upper end of the current range” of market expectations because of the increased trading demand in April.
Sale of LCG by FlowBank
LCG is owned by FlowBank, founded by former LCG CEO Charles-Henri Sabet. Previously, LCG was part of London Capital Group Holdings, which faced difficulties after delisting from the London Stock Exchange and the NEX Exchange in 2018. That same year, Charles-Henri Sabet bought LCG, separating it from the struggling London Capital Group Holdings, which later went into liquidation.
Sabet restructured LCG’s ownership after launching the Switzerland-based FlowBank in 2020.
However, FlowBank was declared bankrupt last year by Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The regulatory action followed an investigation launched in October 2021, which found breaches of supervisory laws, including those relating to capital requirements, organisational structure, and risk management.
In August, FlowBank’s liquidators announced plans to sell LCG’s shares. The London-based company now has share capital of around £25 million.

The trades that taught me the most aren't the ones that worked. They're the ones that didn't — or the ones I almost caught and didn't have the nerve to ride. In this session, I'll tell you about the Brexit miss, the SNB shocker that nearly handed me a 5400% return, the BoJ surprise that punched me in the gut, and a few wins along the way. Each story carries a lesson, but the lessons aren't the point. Everyone who trades long enough collects a portfolio of moments like these; what separates the people who stay in the game is what they do with them.

Most market post-mortems describe what happened to prices. Few describe what happened in the trading room while the position was open: the entry conviction, the moments that tested it, and the exit decision that closed the book.
This session brings one seasoned trader to the stage for an unfiltered account of the position that still defines how they think about markets.
Attendees will walk away with:
-A first-hand account of how a conviction trade is built, from thesis and entry through position management and exit
-Understanding of what turns a market observation into a live position, and what holds it when conditions shift
-Insight into how timing, execution quality, and market structure shaped the final result
-Perspective on what the trade revealed about edge, risk tolerance, and when to hold through a position moving against you
-Clarity on what separates a well-built trade from a well-timed one

As crypto and CFD trading continue to expand across Africa, access to advanced tools and market insights remains uneven. This session explores how AI and blockchain can bridge that gap by empowering informal traders and underserved communities to participate more effectively in digital financial markets. The discussion will focus on practical applications of technology to improve accessibility, education, and investment outcomes in both formal and informal sectors.
In this discussion, we will explore:
-The role of AI in democratizing access to trading tools, insights, and strategy development
-How crypto and blockchain can enable broader participation beyond traditional financial systems
-Addressing access barriers: infrastructure, education, and affordability in underserved communities
-Opportunities for brokers and platforms to tap into the informal trading economy
