RenCap records 25% drop in London operation’s revenues for 2010

By Andrei Skvarsky.

Russian brokerage Renaissance Capital’s London-based operation recorded a 25% drop in its revenues for last year due to a change of strategy.

The London firm’s revenues plunged by $17m to $52m in 2010 due to its changed strategy of earning its income from commissions on a brokerage basis, rather than by profiting from trades using its own capital, according to the Financial News website.

The London broker’s net trading income, primarily from equities, fell by 94% to $2.9m last year, though brokerage and advisory fees grew by 133% to $49.3m.
