The operating profit from this was CHF 187.4 million.The Swiss company highlighted that it operated last year “in a complex macroeconomic environment marked by the shift of the major central banks’ monetary policies towards cautious easing and by a rise in international trade tensions, notably the introduction of significant U.S. tariffs that triggered retaliatory measures and increased global geopolitical uncertainty.”These developments prompted investors to actively reassess and reposition their portfolios, generating a substantial increase in transaction volumes across all asset classes and regions.“The Group was able to capitalise on these market conditions while continuing its organic growth strategy,” the company added.However, its performance was affected by the strengthening of the Swiss franc during the year, particularly against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen.Outlook Is BullishIn the current year, the group is witnessing a “positive trend”, which continues from recent years.“The priority remains the pursuit of growth primarily through organic development, in particular through targeted recruitment aimed at expanding its product offering across different geographic regions,” the company added.This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.
