ACG Markets

What ACG Markets does

ACG Markets Ltd is a Seychelles-incorporated, FSA-regulated CFD broker (Securities Dealer License SD182) operating from Providence, Mahe, with global service reach (excluding the US, Canada, Iran, Myanmar, and North Korea) and a UK-facing commercial presence via +44 contact numbers. The company offers leveraged Contracts for Difference trading across four asset classes—Forex (58 pairs), Metals (8), Indices (15), and Commodities (8)—distributed through a self-service online signup, a third-party MetaTrader 5 platform, and a proprietary Alpha Trader platform, with FIX API connectivity and Autochartlist (115+ indicators) for advanced charting.

The underlying technology stack combines co-located low-latency infrastructure for millisecond execution, deep multi-tier liquidity pools from top-tier providers, FIX API for algorithmic integration, and a proprietary Alpha Trader interface with real-time analytics. All platforms are accessible via web, desktop, and mobile, supported by 24/5 multilingual staffing. Marketing is digital-first across blog content, email, SEO, and major social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube).

ACG Markets generates revenue through spreads on quoted CFD instruments (primary stream), commissions on Raw accounts (zero on Standard accounts), overnight swap charges, currency conversion fees, and a modest inactivity fee (up to USD 10/year). Its go-to-market is hybrid: a direct-to-consumer self-service model for retail traders paired with dedicated relationship management for Professional Clients, Corporate/Institutional clients (Corporations, Family Offices, Hedge Funds), and Broker Clients. White-label platform solutions and B2B liquidity provision via FIX API extend the model into platform-as-a-service revenue. The company reports 1–10 employees and is led by CEO David Rapp, with George Kohler listed as Managing Director.

Revenue model

1. Spread Revenue: The primary revenue stream is the bid-ask spread on all CFD instruments. ACG Markets obtains prices from third-party market data and liquidity providers and applies a spread adjustment to arrive at the tradable price. The spread is incorporated into quoted rates and represents the main cost to clients on every trade.
2. Commission Revenue: Depending on account type, commissions may be applied to trades. Standard accounts have zero commission, while Raw accounts charge a commission per lot traded.
3. Overnight Funding/Swap: Swap charges applied for holding positions open overnight. The swap cost can be positive or negative depending on the instrument and interest rate differentials. Applied automatically to client accounts.
4. Currency Conversion Fees: Fees incurred when converting realized profits and losses as well as costs and charges denominated in currencies other than the client's trading account base currency.
5. Inactivity Fees: Account maintenance fee of up to USD 10 annually charged if there are no transactions within a 12-month period.
