With its headquarters in London, UK, City Index operates as a CFD trading, FX and spread betting provider. Jonathan Sparke and Chris Hales founded City Index back in 1983. The two traders expanded the company to offer spread betting services in 1984. Michael Spencer, who owned the firm since 1997, sold it to GAIN Capital in 2014 for $118 million.
