XTB (WSE: XTB), one of
Poland’s largest brokerage houses, has announced a strategic partnership with
the local self-regulatory Association of Individual Investors (SII). This new
collaboration is aimed at improving the standards of the Polish financial market,
including the establishment of a ‘Spokesperson for Individual Investors
Rights’.
Recent
years have seen a dynamic rise in the number of individual investors in Poland,
as evidenced by the ever-growing number of brokerage accounts. XTB and SII
believe that to maintain this trend. There is a need to modernize and raise the
standards of stock market investors’ work.
“At
XTB, we have been investing in free, universally accessible education for
investors and increasing market accessibility,” Paweł Szejko, a Board Member of
XTB, commented. “We often cooperate with the Association of Individual
Investors in this area. From our joint observations, it turns out that Polish
investors also need support in defending their rights.”
This led to
the initiative of instituting a Spokesperson for Individual Investors’ Rights. This role aims to emulate similar institutions by safeguarding
the rights and obligations of individual investors while striving for higher
standards within the industry.
In the
first quarter of 2023, XTB reported a significant influx of new clients, adding
104,200 to their customer base. This growth boosted their total clientele to a
remarkable 703,900, reflecting a year-over-year (YoY) increase of 46.1% and a
quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) growth of over 100%.
An
impressive highlight is the surge in active clients, which climbed by 44% YoY,
escalating from 149,800 in Q1 2022 to 215,700 in the same period of 2023. It
confirms that the number of retail traders and individual investors are
dynamically rising after the covid pandemic, at a time when people are looking
for proactive ways to protect their savings and wealth against record-high
inflation.
What is the Role of the XTB’s
Spokesperson?
It is
envisioned that the spokesperson would function as an independent mediator,
working towards the amicable resolution of significant disputes between individual
investors and financial institutions.
In
addition, SII and XTB plan to implement joint initiatives to serve individual investors. This includes supporting the development of
financial education, promoting issues related to the functioning of the capital
market in the public space, and working towards universal access to reliable
information about the capital market.
“We
believe that gaining such a strong Strategic Partner opens new possibilities
for the community of Polish individual investors,” Jarosław Dominiak, President
of the Board of the Association of Individual Investors, commented. “We have
ambitious plans on many fronts.”
The Polish
investment platform also reduced entry barriers for new investors in
the past. Recently, XTB launched the InvestResponsibly.com project aimed at
promoting responsible investing.
XTB Launches Savings Account,
Ups Dividend
Considering
the evolving nature of the investment industry and the growing number of
individuals seeking ways to protect their wealth against inflation, XTB has
decided to introduce a new ‘investment-savings’ product by the end of
the year.
Last month,
XTB CEO, Omar Arnaout, stated that to capture a wider audience, the broker is
concentrating on offering products that attract potential new clients, notably
excluding contracts for difference (CFDs).
“We
aim to expand our product offerings to reach a broader range of clients,”
Arnaout stated. “New products are crucial for us to break the barrier of
40-55 thousand new accounts. Only new products, coupled with strong marketing
efforts, can achieve this goal.”
In a recent
announcement, the publicly-traded brokerage disclosed that it has abandoned its
proposed share buyback plan. Instead, the firm decided to distribute its record
profits from 2022 as dividends. The company plans to augment its dividend
distribution to PLN 4.86 per share, up from the previously proposed PLN 3.25
per share.
