New trading platform opens for unlisted shares in Norway
Published
The Swedish trading platform Eqvor is now launching in Norway. The platform is a partner of Nordnet, and it will soon list the first Norwegian companies. According to the source, this will happen within a few weeks.
Unlisted shares are shares in companies that are not listed on a stock exchange, such as the Oslo Stock Exchange. It has usually been difficult for private investors to buy and sell such shares, because there is often no fixed market for them.
With Eqvor, customers can trade in unlisted shares on a digital platform. This gives more people the opportunity to invest in companies that are not yet publicly listed. The platform comes from Sweden, but it is now also becoming available to Norwegian customers.
Investments in unlisted shares can be riskier than ordinary listed shares. There is often less information available about the companies, and it can be more difficult to sell the shares again. Therefore, one should familiarise oneself well with the companies before investing.
It is not yet known which Norwegian companies will be the first on Eqvor. Once they are ready, it will become clear how great the interest in this type of trading in Norway is.
