嘉盛保留选择购买这两家公司剩余的45 ％的股权，取决于他们是否将有助于集团的性能指标。例如，对于2014年3月，嘉盛公布的期货日均交易收入23,884 （ DART） ，这明显是受到了GAA和Top Third七天的活动影响。

 

我们在之前收购的文章中指出，他们很好地配合嘉盛的长期计划，非零售业务增加至总收入的50％。此外，这两个公司都非常符合，嘉盛高层管理人员列出的有关收购目标中的标准：多元化的业务组合，提供新的产品，以及协同效应。对于这个问题您可能还记得，嘉盛的首席执行官Glenn Stevens强调，期待GAA和本集团现有的期货业务，以及其零售OTC业务， FOREX.com之间，产生协同效应和交叉销售的机会。与此同时，和Top Third的合作，为嘉盛打开一个以期权为基础的对冲策略的全新的利基。

 

该收购标志着嘉盛在努力提高其期货业务。而在其最新的新闻稿中也宣布，任命Glenn Swanson为其期货业务的掌舵人。选择Swanson，是因为他在该领域的经验 ，他曾长期担任期货交易公司Daniels Trading的总裁，该公司是嘉盛在期货领域的最大推荐经纪公司。他也是GAA的创始人。

 

增益显然是加紧收购。不到两周前，该集团传播收购英国CFD咨询公司Galvan Research and Trading的消息，此举将进一步推动其扩大业务组合。
