Lion Group Holding Ltd. is a financial services company based in China that offers trading and investment products to retail customers. Its main services include contracts for difference (CFDs), which let people bet on price movements of stocks, currencies, and commodities without owning the actual assets. The company also provides insurance brokerage and other capital markets services.

Lion Group earns money through trading commissions, spreads on CFD transactions, and fees from its insurance and financial services businesses. It operates primarily in China and targets Chinese retail investors, making it a small player in a highly competitive market dominated by much larger brokers. The company has struggled to turn a profit, as shown by its negative operating margin, and faces significant risks from tightening Chinese financial regulations, intense competition, and the challenge of growing its customer base enough to cover its operating costs.
