UK-based CFD broker Valutrades Limited reported lower client activity in 2025, alongside a decline in total client numbers and trading volumes. Management described the year as “a challenging year” and said the firm continued to operate within what it sees as the cyclical nature of the industry.
Revenue Growth Amid Wider Trading Losses
On the financial side, turnover increased to £2,254,556 from £1,935,292 in the previous year. This showed revenue growth despite weaker activity across the client base.

Cost of sales fell to £1,131,826. Administrative expenses stood at £1,855,061. The company recorded an operating loss of £732,331. This compared with a loss of £2,358,384 a year earlier.
The company said it remains committed to a long-term strategy established in 2016. It said this strategy prioritises growth over short-term profitability in the medium term. It also described current conditions as part of normal market cycles.
Rebrand and App Launch as Losses Fall
During the year, Valutrades focused on cost control and internal development. It said it reduced operating costs and made several operational changes linked to platform development and branding.
These included the launch of its first proprietary mobile application. The firm also introduced a redesigned website and updated client area. It completed a full corporate rebrand.
After accounting for interest income, Valutrades reported a net loss of £671,705. This was lower than the £2,592,536 loss recorded in the previous financial year.
The company said it plans to continue investing in technology, staff, and business relationships. It expects these investments to support future profitability over time.
Bonfield Leaves Valutrades
Earlier, Valutrades confirmed the departure of Chief Financial Officer Liam Bonfield after eight years in the role. Bonfield joined the firm in 2016, the same year the company set its long-term strategy.
He previously held senior finance roles at GMO-Z.com and London Capital Group. CEO Graeme Watkins said the firm would not have achieved its progress without him and wished him well for the future.
