Ltd Boosts Revenue and Profits in 2023
Despite
identifying several challenges in its latest report filed with Companies House,
including “ongoing geopolitical volatility , the cost of living squeeze in
the UK, and continued challenges in the UK equity markets,” the final
results paint a largely positive picture.
The firm’s
AUM grew by 15% to £2 billion, up
from £1.6 billion reported the previous year. The total number of clients
increased by 4,000 to 127,000, while profit before tax rose by 13% to nearly
£15 million.
Delving
into the report’s details, we see that the company’s trading revenue remained
relatively stable at £27.9 million, compared to £27.6 million the year before.
The absence of additional costs incurred in 2022 resulted in a final profit for
the year after tax of £11.2 million, a 7% increase from the £10.5 million
reported in the previous year.
“We
are driving client retention, activating our new and existing clients with
timely, relevant, and engaging content, and improving our service levels to
meet our high expectations,” Saxo UK commented
in its latest report.
As for the
entire Saxo Group, in 2023 it reported a net profit of DKK 260 million, a
decline from the previous year’s DKK 711 million. The latest adjusted net
profit stood at DKK 653 million, reflecting an 8.1%.
Earlier
this year, the company experienced a significant
leadership change as CEO Charles White-Thomson announced his resignation.
White-Thomson, who played a vital role in guiding the financial technology
giant, also stepped down from the Board of Directors of Saxo Capital Markets UK
Ltd.
