According to the listed brokerage firm, net operating income declined toward the end of the year but surged in January. In comparison to H1 2023, the number of monthly active clients, client funds, and assets under administration all remained steady.

One of the company’s noteworthy updates was a regulatory permission in principle for the opening of CMC Singapore Invest, which was a significant step in CMC’s geographic expansion. According to CMC, the move is a result of the company’s ongoing efforts to diversify its clientele and widen its geographic reach by utilising its technology, leveraged institutional offering, and non-leveraged platforms.

The business also highlighted the ongoing platform changes for both trading and investing. ETFs, ISAs, and responsible ESG screening functions have recently been added to CMC Invest, the company’s UK non-leveraged platform for its British employees. The platform will provide the larger market with both B2C and B2B potential, according to CMC.

Lord Cruddas, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “2023 is set to be an exciting year for CMC as we continue our growth strategy. Our core initiatives of product expansion, new trading analytics, new pricing functions and enhanced onboarding initiatives remain on track across both our investing and trading platforms. Expansion of CMC Invest continues, with UK marketing spend accelerating over coming months coinciding with delivery of a steady stream of new products and functionality. I look forward to updating the market further at our full year results later this year.”

In addition to maintaining its current-year outlook, CMC Markets declared an interim dividend of 3.50p per share. Based on the outcomes and underlying circumstances from 2022, the online trading and investment broker reaffirmed its intentions to increase net operating income by 30% over three years.

The publicly traded trading firm reported that its net operating income for the first half of fiscal year 2023 was £153 million, up 21% from £127 million in the prior year and setting a record performance outside of the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to CMC, it brought in £155 million in gross leveraged client income, a 22 percent year-over-year decrease from its £127 million intake in 2021.
