Client Metrics
The Companies House filing showed almost unchanged UK platform trading activities. The volume last year was $195 billion, while the prior year was only $196 billion. A significant decrease in trading activities is also discernible from the reduction of trades, amounting to 8.6 million from 9.8 million.
Furthermore, the UK platform of Tickmill has seen a 40% decrease in new client onboarding. Last year, it onboarded 3,947 clients, down from 6,618 in the previous year.
The last twelve months have been full of market instability due to the outbreak and spread of COVID-19. In addition, significant geopolitical events caused the trading volumes and number of trades to decrease.
