Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (FRGE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Forge Global Holdings, Inc. can drive more revenue from its existing client base and current market. This is about maximizing the value from the platform infrastructure already in place. Here's the quick math on the scale we are working with: Total Trading Volume hit $692.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (1Q25).

The first lever here is pricing to drive volume. While I can't state the exact fee structure change, the goal is to use lower trading fees to directly impact the top-line metric we saw in 1Q25, which was $692.4 million in Total Trading Volume. This strategy aims to make the platform the default venue for more transactions across the existing user base.

Next, we focus on the big spenders-your existing institutional clients. The strategy calls for a 15% increase in their average trade size. To give you a sense of the current base, as of September 30, 2025, institutions held a significant portion of the company, with BlackRock, Inc. holding 655,012 shares and The Vanguard Group Inc. holding 433,969 shares. The total institutional ownership hovers around 37% to 40.7% of the company's stock. Capturing even a small increase in the average size of trades from this group, which contributed to the $25.1 million in Total Revenues Less Transaction-Based Expenses in 1Q25, moves the needle significantly.

We need to convert more private company shareholders into active traders. Looking at the ownership breakdown, retail investors hold the largest segment at 45% of the company, while VC/PE Firms hold 11.7%. A focused campaign targets this large pool of existing shareholders who may only hold shares for cap table management but not actively trade. The goal is to move them from passive holders to active participants on Forge Markets.

Deepening relationships with venture capital firms is key to securing exclusive liquidity events. The fact that VC/PE Firms hold 11.7% of the company suggests strong existing ties. These exclusive events, often tied to specific late-stage private companies, can generate significant, high-value block trades, similar to what fueled the 132% quarter-over-quarter increase in trading volume seen in 1Q25.

Finally, data analytics must be used to re-engage dormant users. While I don't have Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s specific number of users inactive for 6 months, industry data shows that improving customer retention by a mere 5% can boost profits by 25-95%. This suggests that identifying and reactivating users who haven't traded in that six-month window offers a high return on effort compared to pure acquisition.

Here is a snapshot of the current ownership base that Market Penetration strategies will target:

Owner Type	Ownership Percentage (Approximate)	Relevant 1Q25 Metric
Retail Investors (General Public)	45%	Total Trading Volume: $692.4 million
Institutions (Excluding VC/PE)	~37%	Total Custodial Client Cash: $459.7 million
VC/PE Firms	11.7%	Total Revenues Less Transaction-Based Expenses: $25.1 million
Individual Insiders	5.78%	Shares Outstanding: 13.76 million

The focus for Market Penetration is on increasing activity within these existing segments. We look at the current user base through these lenses:

• Institutional Client Base: Driving average trade size up by a target of 15%.
• Dormant User Pool: Targeting users inactive for 6 months for re-engagement.
• Shareholder Base: Converting more of the 45% retail stake to active users.
• VC Relationships: Securing exclusive events to boost volume like the 132% Q/Q growth in 1Q25.
• Fee Optimization: Using lower fees to capture a larger share of the existing market volume.

Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (FRGE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Forge Global Holdings, Inc. can take its existing platform infrastructure-which generated total revenues less transaction-based expenses of $52.7 million in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025)-into new geographic markets. This strategy relies on adapting the core offering to meet local regulatory and investor demands.

Expand platform access to accredited investors in major European financial centers like London and Frankfurt.

The opportunity in Europe is substantial; the Europe private equity market size reached USD 3.24 trillion in 2025 and is forecast to climb to USD 6.51 trillion by 2030, delivering a 12.24% CAGR. The United Kingdom led Europe in 2024 deal value with 25.40%. Institutional Limited Partners (LPs) are increasing their focus, with 63% planning investments in Developed Europe within the next two years, up from 43% in 2024. Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s Q2 2025 marketplace revenues were $18.6 million, showing the existing revenue engine that needs new market access.

Establish a dedicated sales team to onboard private equity funds in Asia, starting with Singapore.

Singapore remains a central hub for South-East Asia PE, securing USD 7.6 billion of capital investment in 2024, which was almost 50% of the region's total $16 billion raised. While South-East Asia deal value saw a sharp decline of 46.6% in the first half of 2025 compared to H1 2024, reaching around $3.1 billion, Singapore-linked funds remained active participants in Q1 2025 carve-outs. Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s total trading volume in H1 2025 reached $1.4 billion.

Partner with international wealth managers to offer private market access to their high-net-worth clients.

Forge Global Holdings, Inc. is building on a foundation that includes $17.6 billion in Assets Under Custody (AUC) and $1.1 billion in Forge Global Advisors AUM, recently augmented by the acquisition of Accuidity, which added $220 million in AUM. Respondents in Singapore are highly bullish on retail-like products, with 70% stating that at least half of private markets fundraising will come through such products in two years' time. Global alternative assets under management are expected to surpass $29 trillion by 2029.

Adapt the platform to comply with MiFID II regulations for European market entry.

Regulatory adaptation is a prerequisite for accessing the European market. The UK pre-trade transparency obligations for bonds and derivatives executed outside a trading venue ceased on March 31, 2025. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) review of the UK SI regime closed in January 2025, with a Consultation Paper expected around Summer 2025. Forge Global Holdings, Inc. is focused on profitability, targeting adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2026, which means compliance costs must be managed against the Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.4 million.

Target sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East as new institutional buyers of private shares.

The top 10 global private equity firms manage over $5 trillion in AUM. The Middle East represents a significant pool of institutional capital, though specific 2025 data on sovereign wealth fund private market allocations is not detailed here.

Metric	Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (FRGE) 2025 Data	Market Context Data
H1 2025 Revenue less Transaction-Based Expenses	$52.7 million	Europe PE Market Size (2025): USD 3.24 trillion
Q2 2025 Trading Volume	$756 million	South-East Asia PE Deal Value (H1 2025): ~$3.1 billion
Adjusted EBITDA Loss (Q2 2025)	$5.4 million	UK PE Deal Value Share (2024): 25.40%
Target for Adjusted EBITDA Breakeven	2026	Singapore PE Capital Raised (2024): USD 7.6 billion

The path forward involves scaling the platform's proven transaction volume, which was $1.4 billion in H1 2025, into these new regulatory and geographic environments.

• Expand platform access to accredited investors in major European financial centers like London and Frankfurt.
• Establish a dedicated sales team to onboard private equity funds in Asia, starting with Singapore.
• Partner with international wealth managers to offer private market access to their high-net-worth clients.
• Adapt the platform to comply with MiFID II regulations for European market entry.
• Target sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East as new institutional buyers of private shares.

Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (FRGE) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Forge Global Holdings, Inc. can expand beyond its core secondary trading marketplace, which, as of the third quarter of 2025, generated total revenues less transaction-based expenses of $21.26M.

The current business foundation shows a split between marketplace activity and recurring fees. For Q3 2025, marketplace revenues were $12.16M on a trading volume of $0.42B, while custodial administration fees were $9.10M. The net take rate for Q3 2025 stood at 2.8%. The company reported a net loss of $18.21M for that quarter, with a basic loss per share from continuing operations of $1.37. The Assets Under Custody (AUC) reached $18.4B across 2.70M custodial accounts as of the end of Q3 2025. Management has reiterated its trajectory to adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2026.

Here's a quick look at the recent revenue components in millions USD:

Metric (Revenues Less Transaction-Based Expenses)	Q1 2025	Q2 2025	Q3 2025
Total Revenue	$25.1	$27.6	$21.26
Marketplace Revenue	$15.8	$18.6	$12.16
Custodial Administration Fees	$9.3	$9.1	$9.10

The market context shows that companies are staying private longer; the median age of VC-backed companies at IPO increased from 6 years in 2000 to 14 years in 2024, with the number of IPOs dropping from 245 to just 37 in that same timeframe. This extended lifecycle supports the growth of private market allocation, projected to grow from $0.1 trillion in 2024 to $2.4 trillion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 76.2%.

Consider these five paths for diversification:

• Acquire a small registered investment advisor (RIA) to offer direct financial advisory services to private company executives.
• Develop a proprietary index fund tracking the performance of a basket of pre-IPO companies.
• Enter the primary issuance market by offering capital raising services for early-stage companies.
• Launch a separate, regulated broker-dealer focused on private real estate syndication.
• Build a technology licensing model to sell Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s trading infrastructure to other financial institutions.

Acquiring an RIA would immediately bring in fee-based revenue streams, potentially complementing the existing custodial assets of $18.4B. This move directly targets the executives and early investors already on the platform, who are sophisticated enough to manage wealth but may seek specialized private market advice.

Developing a proprietary index fund would leverage Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s proprietary data, which includes visibility into pricing trends and deal flow. For instance, the total trading volume in Q2 2025 was $756.1M, showing the depth of market activity that could feed an index. This creates a new asset class for investors seeking diversified, passive exposure to the private market growth projected to hit $2.4T by 2030.

Entering the primary issuance market means moving from secondary liquidity to primary capital formation. This is a direct play on the early-stage funding gap. The company's nine-month revenue for the period ending September 30, 2025, was $74.3M, indicating a platform capable of handling increased transaction complexity beyond just secondary trades.

Launching a regulated broker-dealer for private real estate syndication diversifies the underlying asset class entirely. While Forge Global Holdings, Inc.'s current focus is on private company equity, real estate syndication represents a multi-trillion-dollar market segment. This would utilize the existing regulatory structure of Forge Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA, to enter a new asset class.

Building a technology licensing model would monetize the existing infrastructure. The company's Q1 2025 saw total revenues less transaction-based expenses of $25.1M, driven partly by its platform. Licensing the technology could generate high-margin, non-transactional revenue, helping to offset the Q3 2025 Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(11.56)M reported in the prior quarter (Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.4M, the lowest as a public company).
