Brokers Gaining from COVID-19 Volatility
Speaking to Finance Magnates about the on-going year’s performance, a spokesperson from TIOMarkets said: “Our business intelligence suggests that performance in the first two quarters of this year accelerated at a faster rate than performance over the third quarter, which incorporates the traditionally slow summer months. Rates of acquisition & conversions accelerated month on month, along with trading volumes.
“For the company to turn a healthy profit is testament to the effective guidance of the executive board combined with on-point strategic management decisions.”
Similar to other brokers, TIOMarkets also benefited from the COVID-19 volatility as “new clients were onboarded as well as new payment processors, and an internal restructure made room for additional skilled staff.”
