Phillip Brokerage's UK Subsidiary Reports 2015 Results

The Singapore-based global financial company under the name Phillip Brokerage Pte Ltd, has today seen one of its UK subsidiary groups report 2015 totals for their UK entities including King & Shaxson Capital Ltd and its Phillip Securities Nominees UK entity, where the subsidiary group recorded a profit before tax of £2,464,004 for its year ending June 30th, 2015.

The UK group includes PhillipCapital UK, the brand name that mirrors the company's parent group name in Singapore. That parent company has a 100% interest in the UK group since 2002 and which includes King & Shaxson Capital Ltd and King & Shaxson Ltd, as well as the still-dormant King & Shaxson Asset Management Limited.

The above-mentioned result included the combined earnings from the entities, and reflect an increase of £315,396 or up 14.6% from £2,148,608 reported for 2014. From those totals, the amount of retained profit amounted to £1,873,386 and is higher from £1,586,928 year-over-year, and up 18% during that period.

Overall, the 2015 results were driven by gross profits of £18,244,629 which were higher by 10.2% from £16,553,050 reported for 2014, while increases in administration costs during the same period rose by 9.3% from £14,462,780 in 2014 to £15,808,716 during 2015.

That rise in costs largely offset 80% of profits, and closely reflected the prior year's cost-of-income ratio yet nonetheless helped the 18% retained profit year-over-year and drive increases in key performance areas.
