London Capital Group Holdings, the online financial spread betting and trading company, has announced that FuturesBetting.com, the Gibraltar-based financial spread betting business it acquired in May, has re-launched and is now open for business.

FuturesBetting.com provides traders with a professional trading platform that offers fast and reliable financial spread betting execution on major indices, currencies and commodities.

The platform is aimed at individual professional traders as it offers specialist direct market access functionality which is unavailable on many other spread betting platforms.

LCG said it intends to expand FuturesBetting.com’s high net worth client base by leveraging its existing Capital Spreads and Capital Forex customer base and by targeting more sophisticated and experienced investors.

Frank Chapman, CEO of London Capital Group, said: "The FuturesBetting.com spread betting platform is a key addition to the group and opens doors to a new area of the market for us."
