GAIN Capital Provides Further Comments on Extreme Volatility of Swiss Franc — Company generated a profit amid high levels of customer trading activity — Company's financial position remains strong and is operating under normal conditions

BEDMINSTER, N.J., Jan. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — GAIN Capital (NYSE: GCAP, «GAIN» or «the Company») today provided further comments on yesterday's extreme volatility in the Swiss franc.

GAIN generated a profit for the day, considering both trading profit and negative client equity, leveraging its robust risk management framework and heightened customer trading activity following the surprise announcements by the Swiss National Bank.

«Our strong risk-management framework allowed us to generate a profit on one of the most turbulent days for the global currency markets in recent years,» said Glenn Stevens, CEO of GAIN Capital. «We remain focused on managing our risk, taking a conservative approach to managing our exposure to global currencies, while providing liquidity and high-quality execution to our global client base,» added Mr. Stevens.  «Events such as the SNB announcement, although unexpected, can be mitigated in their impact using a comprehensive, consistent approach to risk management, a focus on maintaining robust, scalable trading technology and vigilantly focusing on our customers.  We have positioned ourselves to effectively manage risk during both calm and tumultuous markets and our performance during this recent event shows that,» concluded Mr. Stevens.

As part of its risk management framework, GAIN actively assesses evolving market and other risks and takes steps to address them.  An assessment of the risk exposure relating to EUR/CHF led GAIN to increase client margin requirements to 5% effective September 26, 2014 in order to help mitigate negative client equity in the event of a major event.

«Following the events of January 15, 2015, we remain well capitalized, financially sound and well positioned to grow market share and, as one of the industry's leading consolidators, take advantage of the strategic acquisition opportunities that will result from yesterday's events.  Our market-leading product offering and client execution means we are well placed to meet demand for online trading in foreign exchange, CFDs and other products,» Mr. Stevens concluded.
