Alpha FX Reports Strong First Half of 2018
The announcement from Alpha FX is not entirely shocking, particularly when considering the firm's first-half results of 2018, which saw solid trading results. As Finance Magnates reported, the comp saw steady growth across all of its key metrics in the first half of last year, according to its unaudited interim report.
Specifically, the firm achieved an increase in revenue of 55 percent when measured against the same period in 2017, coming in at £9.7 million. This growth was largely driven by an increase in the number of clients located both within the UK and abroad.
