FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that London based CFDs and Financial Spread Betting broker Capital Index has promoted longtime Operations head Trevor Barwell to the position of Managing Director (or CEO).

The move effectively fills the hole at Capital Index left by the departure earlier this year of Matthew Wright, who had been CEO of Capital Index since 2018. The company also recently brought back to the fold former CEO Rob Woolfe, but as a non executive Director.

Trevor Barwell has been with Capital Index since 2014. He has also worked as Product Head – MetaTrader at ETX Capital, and in the Middle Office at Sucden Financial.

Capital Index (UK) Limited is an FCA regulated brokerage specializing in CFDs, Financial Spread Betting and Spread Trading. The company is controlled by forex trading coach Greg Secker, who bought into the company in 2016.
