CFT Reports Strong Revenue Growth in First Half of 2025

Swiss interdealer broker Compagnie Financière Tradition (CFT) posted robust revenue gains in the first half of 2025, driven by continued market volatility and expansion across both institutional and retail channels.

Group revenue, including joint ventures, rose by 12.3% at constant exchange rates to CHF 632.1 million. Second-quarter growth accelerated to 12.8%, reflecting heightened market activity amid geopolitical tensions and shifting global monetary policy.

The company said revenue increased across all asset classes and geographic regions, buoyed by persistent demand for trading solutions in an uncertain macroeconomic climate.

In Japan, subsidiary Gaitame.com - targeting retail traders - saw revenue surge by nearly 48% year-over-year. This was attributed in part to its December 2024 acquisition of Money Partners Group, which bolstered its market share in the country's retail brokerage sector.

Tradition's performance highlights how volatility continues to benefit brokers with diversified global operations and strong digital platforms, particularly those that can capture both institutional and retail trading flows.
