Recent Company History

Over the last several months, FLG has focused on restructuring and building out its platform. A holding company reorganization on Oct 17, 2025 simplified the structure, while Q3 2025 results on Oct 24, 2025 showed a net loss but improving operating trends. Subsequent dividend declarations and Private Bank expansion, including new offices and added wealth capabilities, underline a strategic push in private banking. Today’s Park Avenue office opening continues that expansion narrative in a major wealth hub.
