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:

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.
Commodities are the lifeblood of our global economy and commodities trading is one of the world’s oldest trading forms, existing before currency, bonds and stocks.
Commonly tradable commodities are categorised into one of four groups – energy (including crude oil), metals (such as gold, silver and copper), agricultural (including coffee, wheat, sugar and cocoa) and finally livestock and meat (including cattle).
Commodities trading is ideal for those who prefer to analyse supply and demand across the world, and how these affect commodities prices, in response to economic and political events.
Trade various commodity markets, including metals, energies and agriculture, with one account.
Commodities markets are among the most volatile markets available to traders. Agricultural markets in particular are very active.
Trading with leverage means that not as much capital is needed to trade. This gives commodities traders the opportunity to increase position size, amplifying potential gains and losses.
Trade popular commodity types wherever you are and on any device using our professional online trading platform.
With a guaranteed stop-loss order, you can protect your commodity trades against significant market fluctuations.
With advanced orders you can set multiple profit targets or move your stop loss to breakeven automatically.
