Forum AMA with Freetrade CEO & Founder, Adam Dodds, Thu 26 May

The most immediate new revenue streams we are working on are securities lending and crypto. You will have noticed we updated our T&Cs to allow for sec lending, but haven’t actually turned it on yet. We’re still working through how it will fit with our subscription plans, eg what % of interest earned goes back to the customer on the various tiers. I think you’ll see something similar to how we deal with interest earned on client cash held in custody. Crypto was addressed in an earlier question, basically we are going to wait until we receive FCA registration approval to ship it.

You’ll also see a revamp of our subscription tiers this summer, which will see more value provided to more customers, and should also result in more revenue for the business.

By ‘DFM’ I assume you mean discretionary fund manager? If you saw the 2016 Freetrade pitch deck, that was in there (IFA marketplace), and I still think no one has done it properly. Would love to have that available to our customers, but priorities. Better tools for DIY will be finally rolling out every couple weeks or so this summer…
