From Broker

Broker, re-quotes on price changes, positive slippage kept by broker

Maintain open positions subject to market risk

Predominantly trading gains against client losses

Driven up and down by market volatility

Shorter client life, higher churn, rejects profitable traders

Principal

Best bid/offer from network of market makers, transparent

Back-to-back with market maker who made price; clients receive positive slippage; no re-quotes

All agency trades simultaneously offset with market maker; no market risk

Volume-based fees; not related to client profits/losses

Stable in low volatility, higher growth in volatile markets

Longer client life, actively pursues and caters to active, profitable traders

Competitive Advantage From a Robust Trading Platform Robust Graphical User Interface

Our end-to-end trading platform gives us an asymmetrical competitive advantage versus:

− Our peers in the retail FX world

− Any new entrants from adjacent spaces

Single platform used for all markets (unlike other asset classes), leveraging global infrastructure

Difficult to replicate; significant barriers to entry

Multiple points where we add unique value

− Not plug-and-play like equities

− We do not compete solely on price

Little additional costs associated with adding White Label partners

− Even large, sophisticated broker choose to White Label our platform rather than build their own

Industry Leading Technology Platform Gives Us a Powerful Competitive Advantage
