GAIN Capital Group Included on Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies for
the Fourth Consecutive Year
2008 Inc. 5000 Lists the Operator of FOREX.com Among the Top 50 Privately Held
Financial Services Companies

BEDMINSTER, N.J., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- GAIN Capital Group, a market
leader in the online foreign exchange (forex or FX) industry, has been named
to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for the fourth consecutive
year.
    GAIN Capital Group, which owns the popular FOREX.com web site for retail
foreign currency trading, was ranked 41st among the fastest-growing financial
services firms, and was also ranked #770 overall among the entire Inc. 5000
list. The annual rankings, compiled by Inc. magazine, lists the
fastest-growing, privately held companies in the United States based on each
firm's four-year cumulative revenue growth percentage (and not on total amount
of revenue).
    GAIN's rank on the Inc. 5000 list is based on the company's 458.4 percent
cumulative increase in revenue since 2004. In addition, GAIN has reported six
consecutive years of top-line growth above 65 percent.
    "Our fourth consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000 list is a great
opportunity to celebrate the ongoing growth of our company, and validates the
effort that the entire GAIN Capital team contributes every day," said Glenn
Stevens, chief executive officer of GAIN Capital Group. "This recognition of
GAIN's sustained growth by Inc. magazine serves as an encouragement for all of
GAIN's employees as we continue to globally build our business and brand."
    GAIN Capital operates FOREX.com, a popular web site with retail foreign
exchange trading customers. Forex is the most heavily traded market in the
world, with a daily volume that exceeds $3.2 trillion, according to the Bank
for International Settlements (BIS). Among retail investors, forex trading has
gained widespread acceptance over the past several years. According to U.S.
research firm Aite Group, average daily trade volume in the retail forex
market alone increased 500 percent from 2001 to 2006, reaching an estimated
$77 billion per day in 2007*. To learn more about the company or to open a

ranked according to each organization's cumulative percentage of revenue
growth over the previous four-year period. Complete information on this year's
Inc. 5000, including company profiles and a list of the fastest-growing
