Interactive Brokers sees UK revenues hike
Tom Osborn at Dow Jones
The London arm of Interactive Brokers, the largest online securities brokerage in the US, saw an 18% rise in revenues for 2011, as the firm reacted to falling trading volumes by diversifying away from its core business of equity and derivatives trading.
Revenues at Interactive Brokers UK topped £7m for the year ended December 31, according to accounts filed at Companies House. However, the firm reported a fall in pre-tax profits of 14.7% to £1.03m, on the back of higher administrative expenses, as it invested in new retail-focused brokerage services for gold, silver and contract-for-difference trading. CFDs are equity securities which offer a buyer exposure to a stock’s future value for a pre-agreed price. They are popular with UK investors because they are exempt from the stamp duty levied on stock and futures trades.
