At Saxo Bank, we are constantly striving to provide our clients with solutions that allow them to maximize their returns on their investments. The introduction of this service opens up an alternative revenue stream from the instruments clients already have in their portfolios, while retaining control over their stocks and ETFs.” – comments Marcin Ciechoński, marketing director of Saxo Bank in Central and Eastern Europe.
