Capital.com, the online trading platform that processed over $1.7 trillion in trading volume during 2024, has announced a collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).
LSEG & Capital.com partnership
The partnership, announced on February 13, 2025, aims to provide traders with enhanced access to real-time market data, news, and advanced analytics.
The integration comes at a time when Capital.com is trying to establish itself as a major player in the online retail trading space, the firm already has more than 750,000 traders and monthly trading volumes around $147.0 billion notional.
The Capital.com trading platform, which offers access to over 3,000 different markets, across various asset classes including shares, commodities, indices, and FX, will now incorporate LSEG’s data and analytics tools suite.
Christoforos Soutzis, Chief Executive Officer of Capital.com Europe said of the partnership
“Our strategic collaboration with LSEG marks an ongoing commitment to partner with the very best organisations to support our clients,”
and added that
“This partnership allows us to enhance these qualities even further by integrating LSEGs powerful data & analytics features directly into our trading platform.”
Integration client benefits
The new integration will provide Capital.com’s clients with several key features:
Comprehensive Market Intelligence
Traders will gain access to detailed stock reports, real-time equity market news feeds, and alerts that can impact market movements. The integration includes company ownership data and fundamental analysis tools, enabling deeper insight into potential trading opportunities.
Enhanced News Coverage
Through the integration, of Reuters and Breakingviews, traders will receive global breaking news coverage, allowing for quick reactions to market-moving events. The additional LSEG news feed will complement Capital.com’s existing partnerships with TradingView and Newsquawk.
Sustainable Trading Tools
Capital.com will now offer real-time ESG metrics, (Environmental Social and Governance) enabling traders to incorporate sustainability factors into their trading decisions.
AI-Powered Market Sentiment Analysis
Perhaps most interesting of all is the integration of AI-enabled sentiment analysis across different geographies and key markets.
This tool is said to provide traders with insights into market psychology and sentiment trends, data that could aid or inform trading decisions.
Stuart Brown, Group Head of Data & Feeds at LSEG, emphasised the significance of the partnership:
“By integrating our comprehensive and trusted data sets with their (Capital.com) client-centric digital channels through our market-leading, cloud-enabled technology services, we empower users to effectively monitor the markets, generate ideas tailored to their risk tolerance and personal values, and achieve improved portfolio outcomes.”
The deal with LSEG represents a significant step forward in Capital.com’s strategy to provide comprehensive trading support to its clients.
Their platform already offers educational resources through its free learning app, Investmate, and incorporates a demo account for traders to practice their strategies.
Client retention is key
Brokers are finally waking up to the fact that it is cheaper, easier and more productive, to retain clients than constantly have to market for new traders,
By making institutional-level data and analytics accessible to individual traders, Capital.com hope to provide them with the tools they need for informed decision-making, whilst helping to differentiate itself from the competition and create sticky client-broker relationships.
However, there was no mention of the commercial terms of the deal with the LSE nor was there any information about which clients of Capital.com would have access to the new tools.
At some brokerages, access to premium data services is based on account type, trading turnover or deposit size.
