The leading investment service providers remained unchanged, with Wood & Company, Concorde and Erste topping the rankings again in September, according to a BSE press release.

Wood and Company was the most active broker during the month, with double-counted turnover of HUF 369.1bn. Concorde was runner-up with turnover of HUF 310.9 billion, followed by Erste Investment with HUF 169.7 billion.
