Capital Spreads said it expects ‘more than a two fold increase’ in full-year profits, in line with market expectations.

The U.K.’s Financial Services Authority paid 725,000 pounds ($1.4 million) to Paul Davidson, the first time the market regulator has been forced to pay legal costs after losing a case.

Spread betting specialist IG Group increased its half-year pretax profit by 45% on a similar gain in turnover fuelled by expanding abroad, the company said.
