Alpha Capital Group, a London-based proprietary trading firm, has reported generating multi-million-pound revenues over the past three years. The company, founded in late 2021, has experienced remarkable growth, with revenue increasing by 846% in its second year and an additional 180% in its third year. This rapid expansion underscores the platform’s robust performance since its launch.
“Since our inception, we’ve achieved extraordinary growth in both revenue and customer numbers year-on-year,” said George Kohler, Managing Director of Alpha Capital Group. “We anticipate 2025 to be a game-changing year as we aim to reach a significant revenue milestone.”
Impressive User Growth Amid Challenges
The company’s user base has expanded significantly, with monthly active users rising from 1,000 in the first year to 100,000 in the third. Despite this growth, data from Similarweb indicates that the platform’s website traffic has seen a decline in the past three months.
Alpha Capital Group has paid $80 million in performance fees to its customers so far, and this figure is expected to exceed $100 million by early 2025. However, the firm faced scrutiny earlier this year when it blocked trading accounts for 150 users. These actions were taken due to alleged violations, including “group trading” and “account management practices” that breached the platform’s policies. The company also reported identifying over 300 accounts linked to a single “Computer ID,” raising further compliance concerns.
A UK-Based Trading Hub
Alpha Capital Group operates as a proprietary trading firm headquartered in the United Kingdom, a region known for its dynamic financial and legal environment. “Being based in the UK allows us to leverage its global financial hub status,” Kohler explained. “Our UK-based team benefits from access to a skilled talent pool and invaluable connections within the financial trading ecosystem.”
The firm is owned by three individuals: George Kohler, Alexander Hagan, and Andrew Blaylock, who also serves as a company director. Each owner holds a stake of between 25% and 50%, according to Companies House records.
Industry Context
While many proprietary trading firms have struggled to sustain operations, Alpha Capital Group remains a standout performer. For instance, FTMO, one of the industry’s leading platforms, reported revenues of $213 million in 2023. In contrast, YCM-Invest, another UK-based firm, has faced declining revenues and widening losses.
Alpha Capital’s continued success highlights its ability to navigate the competitive trading landscape, even as it addresses operational challenges and shifts in market dynamics.
