London Capital Group (LCG) has reported improvements in its financial results for 2024, turning a corner after a challenging 2023. The company has returned to positive cash flow in the second half of the year and is set to announce a statutory profit for the full year of 2024. This marks a sharp contrast to 2023, when LCG posted a net loss of £6 million—more than double the £2.4 million loss in 2022.
The shift follows the company’s adoption of an Introducer business model under new leadership, including Managing Director Matt Basi and CEO Dave Worsfold, who joined the firm in January 2023. This move was part of a broader restructuring aimed at addressing the market’s competitive landscape post-COVID and reducing operational costs.
LCG Sees Strong Financial Results in 2024 After Strategic Model Shift
In a recent social media post, Basi detailed the company’s transformation. He explained that after taking the helm, LCG recognized the need to reimagine its approach in an increasingly crowded sector. The firm’s previous business model, which involved holding client funds and acting as a counterparty to client trades, incurred significant operational expenses. Instead, LCG decided to partner with larger, financially stable firms to handle onboarding, technology, pricing, and risk management—effectively reducing LCG’s operational costs by 80%.
The result is a streamlined model where LCG focuses on delivering high-touch, personal service to its clients while its partners handle the more resource-intensive aspects of the business. Clients now benefit from the combined advantages of LCG’s personalized approach and the advanced technology and offerings of its partners. This strategy not only alleviates operational challenges but also ensures that LCG remains profitable without compromising service quality.
Basi expressed optimism for the future, stating that early results from the new model are promising, and the company is excited about its rebranding and future growth, whether geographically or in terms of product offerings.
