Notice that it's part of the query string? It can mean whatever
/interest/i.htm wants it to mean.
In this case, the frameset page (/interest/i.htm) uses some rather
badly-written client-side code to load its content frame from the query
string. The tilde (~) acts as a separator between the document URL and
the name of the frame to load.
This can be done, and should have been, server-side (though omitting
frames altogether would be the best option).
