According to a Companies House filing, the FCA-regulated company saw 85.9% jump in pre-tax profits last year, reaching £1.48 million, compared to £796,121 in the previous year.

The trading volume in 2021 remained almost flat at $195 billion, just slightly below 2020’s $196 billion. The decrease was driven by a 12% fall in the number of trades on the trading platform, coming in at 8.6 million from 9.8 million.

For the twelve months ended on 31 December 2021, trading conditions were again affected by fluctuations in market volatility as a result of the global COVID pandemic that has dominated much of 2020 and 2021.
