北欧丹麦赫尔勒普（Hellerup）地区的Saxo平台，因其面临香港这一陷入困局的金融中心商业环境的变化，宣布将关闭其当地办公室。公司在周一发布的声明中表示，这个决定“艰难而必要”。该平台自2011年起进入香港市场，专注多资产交易与投资领域。
然而，随着北京加强对香港管控后的地缘政治变动，亚洲金融核心地区的形势发生了变化，中国股市在最近几天由于全面的刺激政策而反弹。但投资者对于这次反弹能持续多久还存在疑虑。Saxo已关闭其上海办公室，并将继续在新加坡进行运营和亚太地区业务。
Saxo于2011年在香港设立据点，至去年在当地的净亏损为29百万丹麦克朗（约430万美元）。尽管该公司的新加坡员工人数远超过香港的18名全职等效员工，但Saxo还是宣布了此决定。此前在7月时，公司已聘请高盛作为财务顾问对战略机遇进行评估。
据其2023年的年报显示，在亚洲区域亏损的基础上，Saxo去年在香港市场业绩为负430万美元。然而令人惊喜的是，该公司在其官方统计中提到，尽管遇到了种种挑战，但在报告期上半年实现调整后的净利润1.22亿美元的佳绩，比去年同期增长了35%，总客户资产规模达到了惊人的1220亿美元。
