For the broker, 2022 was the second consecutive year of revenue growth.
However, this was not enough to achieve net profitability.
Hantec Markets
The
UK-based branch of Hantec Markets released its financial
results for 2022 over the weekend, reporting an increase of 7% in revenue to £5.76
million. Despite the revenue growth, the company failed to maintain
profitability, posting a net loss of £83,968 for the reported period.
Hantec Markets Sees Revenue Growth but Posts Net Loss
In the UK, Hantec
Markets Holdings Limited is responsible for the brokerage's operations and is
licensed by the FCA. The investment firm originated in Hong Kong but also has
offices in Australia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East.
Over the
weekend, the British arm of Hantec reported
that its 2022 revenues reached £5.76 million, which is up
from £5.39 million in 2021. However, the company also reported an increase
in administrative expenses by about £400,000 to £5.84 million. This led to
a deepening operating loss of £85,367 and a final net loss of £83,968. For
comparison, Hantec Markets in the UK achieved a modest net profit of £26,873 in
2021.
As for
other financial data, the broker slightly increased the value of its assets,
rising from £5.98 million reported in 2021 to £6.03 million last year.
Bashir Nurmohamed, the CEO of Hantec Markets Group
"The
Group's business developed in line with the board's expectations, and the
results for the period and the financial position at the period end were
considered satisfactory, given the increasing competition and regulation within
the sector as well as the global Covid pandemic," said Bashir Nurmohamed,
the CEO of Hantec Markets Group.
"Despite
the extremely challenging environment, the Group managed to maintain in line
with management expectations, client numbers, client deposits, and trade
volumes in the year," he added.
Hantec
Markets is optimistic about future progress and believes the overall business
is "well placed to make further progress during the coming year."

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
