Tullett Prebon Narrows 2020 Losses despite Revenue Drop
- The company witnessed record trading volume in Q1 and Q2.
Inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon (Securities) Limited, which operates under TP ICAP group, has significantly narrowed its losses from its business in 2020, according to annual financials published with the Companies House.
The company generated total revenue of more than £68 million in the year, which was 4.8 percent lower from £72 million in the previous year.
The Demand Could Not Sustain
The filing highlighted that the inter-dealer broker saw a peak in activities in Q1 and Q2 as institutional clients rushed to amend their portfolios with the covid-induced market turmoil. However, in the next two consecutive quarters, the demand vanished.
Additionally, the inter-dealer broker detailed that its revenue from the global broking business came in at £39.8 million, compared to 2019’s £42 million. Business from its credit asset class only surged year-over-year with the increased customer demand for alternative credit risks.
