Looking at the figures, we see that a small decrease in turnover for the brokerage was more than matched by a reduction in administrative expenses, leading to a small increase in operating profit. In the bottom line, HYCM achieved a net profit for 2016 of £362,039, up 7.1% from the previous year's figure of £337,914.

The company's key performance indicator is the return on net assets. HYCM reports that during the year this fluctuated in a narrow range and was 13.9% for 2016 compared with 16.3% for the previous year.

Analysis of turnover by country of destination shows that the majority of HYCM's business still comes from British traders. The broker reports £2.13 million in turnover from the UK and just about £0.95 million in turnover from the rest of the world combined. This makes the UK turnover responsible for about 69% of its total £3.08 million turnover in 2016.
