The UK subsidiary of Trading 212 has released its financials for 2021, ending another year with some impressive figures. According to the latest Companies House filing, the broker ended last year with total revenue of more than £94 million, a yearly increase of 74 percent.
The pre-tax profits of the company also soared to almost £56 million last year, compared to the previous year’s £26.96 million. After evaluating the annual taxes, it generated a net income of £45.29 million.
The administrative cost of the company, however, soared by 56 percent to £42.4 million, mostly due to increased staff and scaling expenses. It also suffered a significant cost for the inter-company service with another sister company.

The umbrella company, Trading 212 Group Limited, witnessed a revenue jump of 318 percent in 2020, generating £124.1 million. It netted £10.1 million in income that year.
Move to Stockbroking

The broker further revealed that it ended the year with £2.9 billion in client money and asset balances, compared to £2.1 billion at the beginning of the year. It credited this growth to the broader market trends and growth and also to its growing brand value.
