Because free isnāt a sustainable business model. Look at how much Robinhood makes from selling their customersā order flow to hedge fundsā¦
If people are willing to pay for a free tier that has certain features which they would like, I would understand that. This post isnāt implying the entire platform become a paid service
Nothing is free, they gain market share at the expense of profit. They also make profit from spreads and margin trading in CFDs and are probably already profitable. So yes, this business model is already sustainable, they donāt need our help to redesign their business model as a paid/semi-paid service. If you think you know a better business model, feel free to create your own trading platform and see how it goes. Thanks!
If I remember correctly, they said Trading212 as a whole is already profitable (mainly thanks to CFD accounts, and has been like that for many years), and that with the recent introduction of securities landing, theyāre looking to make even investment and ISA accounts self-profitable on their own.
They published the group 12/18 accounts on the 8th October 2019
The stuff you mention is general guidelines. What is causing the delay this year? You can see it in āfilling historyā on companies house.
Usually companies publish it sooner unless something is going on. Might be due to covid this year.
For a company that is managing clientsā money it seems strange.
How should one judge their solvency? Regulator (FCA) is always late to the party to step in. Good luck with making complaints etc. If it goes south.
We are approaching the end of the year⦠clients keeping large portfolios (multiple thousands) not asking this question is beyond me. Ideally, we should be able see the estimated figures for 12/20.
Hope investors donāt take the same approach with their investments
