Management Commentary
"Market conditions in February were lackluster, with muted volatility in the major currency and equity markets as evidenced by the GVIX, GAIN's product-weighted measure of market volatility, which was down over 50% year-over-year and nearly 25% on a sequential basis," stated Glenn Stevens, GAIN Capital CEO. "Within this backdrop, we are encouraged by our trailing 3 month active customers for February as well as our continued success attracting new accounts, with over 22,000 new accounts opened in the first two months of 2019. We expect trading activity to rebound in the months ahead, upon the return of more interesting market conditions."
