London-based Robinhood rival Freetrade buys UK arm of Australian investing platform Stake


Key Points
  • British retail investing app Freetrade has entered into an agreement with Australian rival Stake to take on all of the company’s U.K. clients and their assets, Freetrade told CNBC Tuesday.
  • Sydney-based Stake launched its services in the U.K. in 2020, however the firm has decided to focus primarily on its Australia and New Zealand operations after a recent business review.
  • The move is expected to bolster Freetrade’s domestic operations, and comes as British retail investment platforms as a whole are facing heated competition from Robinhood.
