“Customer growth remained strong in the second quarter and we were proud to win an award for best customer service. The willingness of Avanza’s customers to take on risk was low, as was volatility in the equity market, which negatively affected brokerage income despite that the number of brokerage customers remained high. The upward trend in funds and in the pension business continued. This, coupled with strong product development, bodes well for stable income going forward.”
