• The financial results for the first half of the year are solid with a total operating income of DKK 2.4 billion (EUR 323 million) and a net profit of DKK 512 million (EUR 69 million).
• As we look ahead, it is clear that we live in a world that is still seeing many uncertain and unprecedented experiments both financially, technologically, socially and health-wise. We are confident Saxo Bank is heading in the right strategic direction. We are building a prudent financial institution that is part of the solutions needed in the future and we remain committed to constantly improving the SaxoExperience, providing our clients with timely, relevant, and engaging content when using our platforms. In the second half of the year, we will have completed the BinckBank integration, which will be a major milestone for the Group.
• During the first six months of the year, more than 159,000 new active clients opened an account with Saxo Bank - we are both proud and humbled that an increasing number of people continue to put their trust in us. As of June 30th, we service more than 790,000 clients and hold DKK 595 billion (EUR 80 billion) in clients’ assets, which is another record-breaking milestone in Saxo Bank’s 29-year history. It took 25 years to reach the DKK 100 billion (EUR 13 billion) milestone and then only 4 years to add an additional DKK 500 billion (EUR 67 billion) in clients’ assets.
• As many countries now slowly transition to a more normal state of affairs, we continue to see an increased interest in investing from both experienced investors and the many individuals investing their savings for the first time.
This marks an acceleration of a global trend in motion before the pandemic, of more people taking greater ownership and control of their savings and
investments. This greater participation and empowerment of retail investors will continue to be a dominant market force for the foreseeable future. At Saxo Bank, we firmly believe it will be a force for good not only for society and the economy, but for the many people who are now better equipped to fulfill their financial aspirations while making an impact by investing based on their beliefs and values
