Throughout 2024, Compagnie Financière Tradition demonstrated consistent revenue growth, with an increase of 7% in current currencies and over 10% in constant currencies. This positive trajectory underscores the company’s strong performance and market positioning.
The integration of Money Partners Group into Gaitame.com following its acquisition in December further solidified the platform’s presence in the Japanese online brokerage market. This strategic move exemplifies Compagnie Financière Tradition’s commitment to expanding its market share and enhancing its service offerings.
