A new partnership has been established between an internationally recognized trading platform and Nasdaq, significantly enhancing the availability of real-time trading data for over 210 stocks on Nasdaq’s Nordic exchanges located in Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Iceland.
This strategic collaboration allows global retail clients to access this information at no additional cost, marking a significant milestone as it is the first time a broker outside of the Nordic regions offers this level of data access. This development complements the existing arrangement that focuses on U.S. equity data.
Retail engagement in the Nasdaq Nordic markets has demonstrated impressive growth, rising from 7.7% in 2018 to 10.6% in the first quarter of 2025. Historical performance data indicates these exchanges delivered some of the highest long-term annualized returns globally between 1966 and 2024.
Numerous prominent companies, such as Volvo, H&M, Nokia, and Novo Nordisk, are traded in these markets. Additionally, over 460 firms are listed on the Nasdaq Nordic growth platform known as First North, where retail investors contributed to 42% of trading activity in early 2025.
According to the Vice President of Execution Services at the trading platform, this partnership is aimed at broadening the range of local stocks accessible to users while offering superior pricing data for investments focused on European companies. The platform serves a diverse user base encompassing 75 countries, reflecting a strong emphasis on local investment options and data.
This partnership also forms part of a larger initiative to enhance access to regional markets for a global audience. The brokerage aims to facilitate local currency trading, emphasizing its commitment to providing essential market information tailored to retail platforms. Collaborative efforts have also been undertaken with various other exchanges, such as HKEX, Deutsche Boerse, LSEG, and ADX, allowing users in the UK and Europe to trade in their local currencies.
In addition to these measures, the trading platform has taken further steps to establish a recognizable presence in the sports community by forming a multi-year agreement to become the Official Trading Partner of Nottingham Forest FC. This partnership encompasses both the men’s and women’s teams for the upcoming 2025/26 season and reflects a broader strategy to support gender equality in sports and investments.
By sponsoring initiatives like this and contributing to campaigns that promote accessible investment opportunities, the trading platform positions itself as a champion of inclusivity both in the financial and sporting arenas.
