CMC Finance Officer to Exit, Spread-Bets Revenue Falls
CMC Finance Officer to Leave, Warns Spread-Bets Revenue to Dip
(Bloomberg) -- CMC Markets Plc said its financial officer is leaving the spread-betting company as part of a broader reshuffle of senior management amid falling revenues.
Grant Foley, CMC’s chief operating and financial officer, is leaving the firm to pursue other opportunities, according to a company statement on Wednesday. Revenue from spread-betting and derivatives, known as contracts for difference, or CFDs, is expected to fall 37 percent for the 2019 full-year.
The spread-betting company’s stock price was buffeted last year after a wave of European rules sought to curb the sector to protect retail investors who were losing money on leveraged bets.
