UK online trading platform offering retail clients CFDs, spread betting, forex and share dealing across global markets.
Earns by quoting prices on markets and keeping the spread or a commission on clients' trades, so revenue follows trading activity and volatility rather than account balances. Clients trade with borrowed money through CFDs (contracts for difference) and spread bets, which UK and European regulators have restricted, so rule changes are a central risk.
In one line: A leveraged-trading version of Interactive Brokers.
Moat: narrow (brand, scale, regulatory licence). Regulatory licences across many jurisdictions and platform scale create barriers, though client acquisition costs are high.
Headquarters: London, UK · Founded: 1974 · Employees: 2,354
