Gildencrest
Capital Limited, a London-based financial brokerage firm formerly known as TeraFX, experienced a
75% drop in foreign exchange (Forex) trading volume during 2024, according to
the company’s recently published annual financial statements.

London Broker Reports 75%
Drop in Forex Volume, Equity Trading Up 4%

The firm’s FX
business volume fell to £8.7 billion last year, generating just £231,000 in
income related to CFD trading services, as the company deliberately shifted its
focus toward equity trading and institutional clients.

Equity
trading has emerged as the company’s primary revenue source, now accounting for
approximately 90% of Gildencrest’s total income. The firm reported £2.05
million in equity trading services revenue. Although it represents only a 4%
increase, the company still considers it a good result in light of the
challenging market conditions in 2024.

“In
2024 the Company continued its shift of focus from Forex Business to focus more
of its efforts on other Capital market instruments such as equities, to broaden
its product offering and brokerage activities,” the company stated in its
strategic report.

Total
revenue for the year decreased to £3.65 million from
£7.55 million in 2023, while profit after taxation fell significantly to
£20,458 compared to £809,912 in the previous year.

Operating
for years as TeraFX, the
broker decided to rebrand as Gildencrest Capital at the beginning of last year.
The name change was intended to reflect that the company offers not only
currency trading but also a broader range of financial services.

Dubai and Latvia to Help
Grow CFD Business

The
strategic pivot comes amid tightening regulatory constraints on retail forex
and CFD trading. Gildencrest reported it has been deliberately reducing its
concentration on retail clients affected by European Securities and Markets
Authority (ESMA) intervention measures and permanent Financial Conduct
Authority (FCA) restrictions on leveraged products.

“There
is a continued emphasis on developing relations with more experienced
professional traders and corporate clients, and to trading in equities ,”
the company noted.

The firm is
pursuing geographic expansion to support future growth in the CFD sector,
continuing operations through its Dubai branch and pursuing a license
application in Latvia, which it hopes will enable it to offer products in
European markets by mid-2025.

Looking
ahead, Gildencrest expressed caution about general business conditions in early
2025, citing “global risk aversion, and political tensions and economic
uncertainty created by Trump Tariffs, which are likely to remain as
headwinds.”

The
company’s financial position remains stable with regulatory capital resources
of £3.1 million at the end of 2024, well above its minimum capital
requirements.

Gildencrest
Capital Limited is a non-advisory matched principal broker authorized and
regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, offering brokerage services
