Interesting read here , interview with Adam

Correction maybe needed where it says the alpha pricing is ‘leaked’

—details of which leaked on the company’s website this week.

It’s freely available and has been from the start?

  • Fractional US shares coming Q2
  • End of ‘beta’
  • Host of new features…
  • ‘In truth, we do make a little bit of money off of interest on client cash balances’

It’s pretty crazy to have gone from this office being big enough to fit our entire team (about 10 people, when I joined last September), to our team being this big now.

Interesting:

  • “fractional shares is going to be coming in Q2, you’re going to see different types of accounts beyond just the basic and the ISA account. It should be really interesting.”
  • “Roughly a quarter to a third of trades are using the instant service, but then if you look at the value of trades, the majority are instant.”

… would love to hear FT give more detail on trade numbers, frequency etc, but I imagine that’s all secret until the next fundraise.

Yeah definitely :+1: any week now…

Just to be clear - we haven’t announced a date for the next crowdfunding round yet.

Very exciting, if you manage to roll out fractional shares by Q2 that would be amazing. Not sure but I don’t think any other broker in the UK is currently offering fractional shares (correct me if I am wrong). It positions you very good for your european expansion as this is going to be a very strong selling point aswell.
