Freetrade in the news đŸ—žïž

“At present, a third of Nextmarkets’ customers are trading based on recommendations within the app”

Sounds quite different, like a mix of a Nutmeg/Wealthify type platform. Is it even legal here? Can’t imagine it would be nice if their recommendations turned sour.

Where is Freetrade located?

We have 600,000 users in the UK, our historic base. We also have 1,000 users in the Netherlands and Ireland where we have launched beta test products to learn more about users outside of our home market. The experience in the Netherlands, for example, allowed us to think about KYC before any launch in Europe. Now we plan to open a European headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of our pan-European expansion. In addition to France, we plan to roll out the Freetrade application in Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland this year.

What is the schedule for launching Freetrade in France?

This should be done in the coming months. At the moment, it is possible for French customers to register on a waiting list. But undeniably, the launch will take place in the first half of 2021.

Great news from Adam about the IPO in approximately 3 years

eToro IPO-ed via a SPAC this week @ $10B valuation. They do have 14M users.
One thing which I think its kind of cringe, is how they are marketing themselves as “the social investment platform”, just because you can subscribe to see other people’s portfolios. By the time, you invest in other people’s hyped stocks, you’re overpaying and end up being the bag holder.

Etoro only have ~1m funded accounts.

Source?

I have heard this 1m funded accounts a few times now but don’t know what that means. Surely they don’t have 13-1 empty accounts and if they do then isn’t it just 1m accounts?

if they have just 1.2m accounts funded it means that they make $500 revenues per account (the company has $600m revenues)

Its a extraordinary metrics (good for them, terrible for the client
)

Slide 45 of the investor presentation yesterday.

I made an account with etoro years ago to look around. They probably included that in the 15m they’re shopping around. Although they do have a CFD side of the business which are almost always high churn, IG has less than 1m customers and managed 200m+ revenue in the latest quarter.

you made an account, meaning that you provided your personal info or just an email?

Really can’t remember.
