While experiencing a 7% surge in revenue, reaching £5.76 million in 2022, Hantec Markets’ UK division could not convert this increase into profits, revealing a net deficit of £83,968. Hantec Markets Holdings Limited, based in the UK and licensed by the FCA, conducts the brokerage’s operations and is originally from Hong Kong but has offices across Australia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East.
During the weekend, Hantec’s UK branch announced an upswing in its 2022 revenues from £5.39 million in 2021 to £5.76 million. However, an increase in administrative expenses by approximately £400,000, reaching £5.84 million, led to an operating loss of £85,367 and a final net loss of £83,968. It contrasts with 2021 when the UK’s Hantec Markets made a modest net profit of £26,873.
Other financial details reveal a slight increase in the broker’s assets value, from £5.98 million in 2021 to £6.03 million last year. The CEO of Hantec Markets Group, Bashir Nurmohamed, stated that the company’s performance and financial position at the end of the year were satisfactory, considering the increased competition, industry regulation, and the global Covid pandemic. He added that despite the challenging circumstances, the Group kept client numbers, deposits, and trading volumes consistent with management expectations during the year.
Hantec Markets expresses confidence regarding future advancements and claims the business is positioned well for further progress in the upcoming year.
