“Our goal today and in the medium term is to grow, and we have created a business model that finances our growth. We invest everything we earn in development – in the management of pensions and the new bank project,” said Valdis Siksnis, the board chairman and one of the founders of INDEXO.
“This is an extremely volatile year in the global capital markets. Therefore, it is even more important that INDEXO pension management indicators are becoming stronger, namely, along with the number of customers we are also increasing the amount of monthly pension contributions, assets under management and the revenues. It proves resilience and potential of INDEXO business, which, in turn, ensures increase of long-term value for our shareholders,” said Siksnis.

Operating income from the core activity before costs for customer acquisition increased to EUR 973.1 thousand or by 50% from the first nine months of 2021.
