To accommodate its growing operation, GAIN Capital Group has moved corporate headquarters to Bedminster, New Jersey, providing the firm with double the square footage of its previous headquarters and an expanded 24-seat trading desk.

"GAIN's growth over the past three years has really been explosive," commented Mark Galant, CEO and Founder of GAIN Capital. "Annual revenues have increased 70% each year from 2002-2004 and the firm now handles in excess of $70 billion in total monthly trading volume," stated Mr. Galant. "Based on current market interest in FOREX from both retail and institutional investors, we expect this accelerated rate of growth to continue through 2008," added Galant. "These expansion initiatives will enable us to keep pace with our growing client base, deliver cutting edge technology solutions and maintain our commitment to exceptional customer service."

The firm has announced plans to open a New York City office in the second half of 2005 to support its growing US customer base, which now accounts for 50 percent of GAIN's trading volume. The New York office will be GAIN's second field office; the firm established a representative office in Shanghai, China in February 2004 to provide local support for its rapidly expanding Asian client base, including white label partners in the region.
