📝 We’d like to start off with a few notes to take into account:
- Trading 212 has been profitable every single year since its founding 20 years ago.
- We have no debt and maintain solid cash reserves.
- Offering free fractional share dealing is cost-effective for us because we have already invested significantly in infrastructure and platform development for our CFD business over the years.
- Our sustainability does not rely on VC funding or crowdfunding.
- At Trading 212 we hold all client funds and assets in accordance with the regulations set out by the FCA and CySEC respectively.
