Samantha Roady Set to Leave GAIN Capital

Finance Magnates learned on Thursday that Samantha Roady would be stepping down from her role at GAIN Capital at the end of next month.

Regulatory filings state that Roady, who is president of the broker's retail trading business, is leaving the company to "pursue other interests outside the leveraged trading industry."

GAIN Capital CEO Glen Stevens will assume Roady's role once she has left the company. It is unclear as to whether Stevens will hold that position for the long run or if the New York-based broker will be looking for an external executive to replace Roady.
