“The better than anticipated pre-tax profit was achieved in challenging market conditions,” Swissqoted noted in the official announcement.

A Strong Year for Swissquote

Its revenue for the period was CHF 265.6 million, a yearly increase of 32.8 percent.

The detailed financial records of H1 revealed that the broker benefited from the interest rate hike as its net interest income jumped 587.6 percent to CHF 102.7 million. The net profit for the six months came in at CHF 106.5 million, which is 38.2 percent higher.
