In terms of E*TRADE’s net new accounts growth, the group continues to limp along after added only 62,432 gross new brokerage accounts in April 2017, compared to 71,631 set back in March 2017, which reflects a full 13.0% drop. However, again this figure is better when weighed against last year, as new brokerage accounts rose 4.0% from 60,263 in April 2016.
In total, this brings the company’s overall accounts to approximately 5.31 million in April 2017, which reflected a marginal increase of 6 percent compared to 5.03 million in April 2016, but almost no change MoM.
