Nordnet’s Interim Report January-March 2020

Report this content

Today Nordnet publishes its Interim Report for January-March 2020. The full report is available at nordnetab.com.

-   The corona situation made the first quarter of 2020 a very special period, and we are all affected on a personal as well as a professional level. From our perspective, I can see that there has been a great interest among private individuals to start saving in stocks and funds. Our customer inflow during the first quarter reaches a new record level. In total, we have welcomed almost 90,000 new savers to Nordnet, and in March we reached the milestone of one million customers. The activity from the private savers is high on all fronts – the number of trades ends up at over 14 million, which is more than twice as much as the first quarter of 2019, and net savings are almost 24 billion, which exceeds savings for the entire 2019, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO at Nordnet.

-   From a financial perspective, the first quarter became a strong period for Nordnet. Our revenues come in at SEK 644 million, while costs are in line with last year. Overall, we can show a profit before tax of SEK 367 million, which is the best quarterly result in Nordnet's history, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO at Nordnet.

Highlights during the quarter
