Nordnet

- During the quarter, Nordnet’s operations saw positive development, reaching the 2 million-customer milestone. Income from share trading and fund savings has seen a steep increase since the third quarter last year, and I particularly want to highlight the strong performance of our fund business. Our operating profit for July-September amounts to SEK 852 million, which is 6 percent higher than in the preceding year, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.

- During the quarter, new functionality has been extensively added to the app and the web. We recently became the first investment platform in the Nordics to provide analyst data from the internationally renowned FactSet. Next on the agenda is the launch of algorithmic trading, giving private investors access to order types typically reserved for professional traders. Shortly, we will do the biggest launch of the year in the form of the Danish pension product livrente which seriously marks Nordnet’s entry into the Danish pensions market, gradually opening access to an underlying market valued at SEK 2,000 billion, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.
