Quote from Gustaf Unger, CEO Avanza
“Today we are reporting the strongest annual result in Avanza’s history. I want to again highlight the strength of our business model, which performs well in different types of markets. 2025 turned out different than many of us had imagined. High expectations for the future quickly turned in light of geopolitical turmoil and tariff chaos. I am entering the new year optimistic about the future, where I believe and hope that 2026 will be the year when households actually have more money left in their pockets – both to treat themselves to what they previously had to forgo and to accelerate their long-term saving”.
