BEDMINSTER, N.J., November 10, 2008 – GAIN Capital Group, a market leader in the online foreign exchange (forex or FX) industry, has been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program list of fastest-growing companies for the fifth consecutive year.

GAIN Capital, which owns the popular FOREX.com web site for retail foreign currency trading, posted a revenue increase of 849 percent from 2003 to 2007, which placed GAIN at #43 in the 2008 Technology Fast 50 for the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut region.

“GAIN’s core mission – to provide our customers with an advanced forex trading platform complete with robust tools and services – continues to be the catalyst for our sustained growth,” said GAIN Capital Group CEO Glenn Stevens. “By utilizing our proprietary technologies, coupled with a sharp focus on constantly improving the customer experience, GAIN continues to enjoy the global growth of both our FOREX.com retail brand and our institutional business,” added Mr. Stevens.

Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program is a yearly ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the New York metro area, and is compiled by Deloitte LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations.
