Information Letter to the clients of LCG Capital Markets Limited (a.k.a. “FlowBroker”)

LCG Capital Markets Limited (additional trade name “FlowBroker”) is wholly owned by FlowBank SA, a Swiss Regulated entity until June 13, 2024. On that date, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) opened bankruptcy proceedings against FlowBank SA. FINMA appointed Walder Wyss SA, succursale de Genève, 14 rue du Rhône, P.O Box, 1211 Geneva 3 as bankruptcy liquidators (the Liquidators). The place of jurisdiction for the bankruptcy is FlowBank SA head office in Geneva. This has effectively stopped FlowBank SA operations.

LCG Capital Markets Limited maintains funds with accounts at FlowBank SA. Due to significant agreements between LCG Capital Markets Limited and FlowBank SA, the appointment of the Liquidators has currently made it impossible for LCG Capital Markets Limited to carry out its operations.

We draw reference to section 25 of our Terms and Conditions, which provides as follows:

FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that an emergency or an exceptional market condition exists which may prevent us from performing any or all of our obligations (a Force Majeure Event). Following the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, we will inform BHS (ourselves) and take reasonable steps to inform you.

Force Majeure Events includes the following events: (i) any act, event or occurrence (including any strike, riot or civil commotion, industrial action, acts and regulations of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities) that, in our reasonable opinion, prevents us from maintaining an orderly market in one or more of the indices/markets in respect of which we ordinarily accept transactions;

At the time of this writing, LCG Capital Markets Limited has engaged the Liquidators. We will update you as more information becomes available to us. For any additional inquiries, clients can continue to contact Customer Support at Email: customerservices.bhs@lcg.com.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

LCG to Sponsor World No. 3 Ranked Tennis Pro, Stan Wawrinka

LCG, one of the leading online brokerage firms, has announced a four-year global partnership with world No. 3 ranked Swiss professional tennis player Stan Wawrinka.


Wawrinka's sponsorship deal takes effect from today, and he will begin promoting the LCG brand at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held at London's O2 from Sunday 13th to Sunday 20th November 2016.


Wawrinka is a three-time Grand Slam tournament winner. He has also won a gold medal for Switzerland at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and is a 2014 Davis Cup champion.


Stan Wawrinka said: “I am overjoyed to have partnered with a globally recognised name like LCG. They have put their full confidence behind me and I'm very excited to work with them as I start this new phase of my career.”


Charles Henri Sabet, LCG CEO, says: “We are extremely pleased to have Stan Wawrinka as LCG's global brand ambassador. He is such a talented athlete and an inspirational figure whose career journey has been characterised by hard work and dedication."


He added, “LCG and Warwinka share a common passion to achieve and maintain excellence in our respective fields. His unwavering commitment to his sport, make him an ideal partner for us. He is an individual who embodies the values of our company, which is why we consider this partnership much more than just branding.”


There are many similar skills required to achieve success in our business or as a tennis player. Traders need to be focused and disciplined, but have the courage to take a risk.  Equally, they must respect the volatility of the markets. Stan must demonstrate this same discipline and commitment to training, to know his competition and prepare well. As he is a role model in tennis, we are role models for the online trading industry


With over 20 years in the industry, LCG offers over 5,000 markets including forex, shares, indices, commodities and options. LCG offers two trading platforms, advanced LCG Trader and MT4.
