Hello,
After the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) was added to Euronext (ENX), would it be possible to add the exchange for investing?
Also, would it be possible to make the Danish stock exchange, Nasdaq Copenhagen, available for investing as well?
Cheers
And the Swedish one which has been asked for multiple times. Wouldn’t hold your breath, seems like T212 development has become like Freetrade was and completely ground to a halt.
I still wait for Poland and Singapore stock exchanges.
I would strongly support adding Nasdaq Stockholm, and ideally the broader Nordic cash equity markets, to Trading 212 Invest.
For long-term investors, adding individual Nordic companies through German secondary listings such as Gettex or Frankfurt is unfortunately not a full substitute for access to their primary exchange.
A good example is SCA (Svenska Cellulosa). It is available in Trading 212 Invest through Gettex, but liquidity is much lower than on Nasdaq Stockholm and the instrument is subject to a relatively low maximum position size. This makes it difficult to use as a meaningful long-term portfolio holding.
The same issue applies to many high-quality Nordic companies such as:
Addtech
Indutrade
Lagercrantz
Lifco
Atlas Copco
SCA
Sweco
Nibe
Several of these companies have already been requested individually through German secondary listings over the years. Adding them one by one does not really solve the underlying issue.
Interestingly, Trading 212 already offers many of these companies as CFDs directly on Nasdaq Stockholm, and also offers CFDs on Nasdaq Copenhagen, Nasdaq Helsinki and Oslo Børs.
Trading 212 Invest also already supports balances in SEK, DKK and NOK.
For this reason, I think direct access to the primary Nordic cash equity markets would be a much more useful long-term solution than continuing to add individual secondary listings.
My preferred priority would be:
Nasdaq Stockholm
Ideally the complete Nasdaq Nordic offering: Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Iceland
Oslo Børs as an additional Nordic market
Nasdaq Stockholm in particular would open access to a large universe of high-quality industrials, compounders, financials, natural-resource companies and technology businesses that are currently difficult or impossible to invest in properly through Trading 212.
For investors building diversified European portfolios, I think this would be a very meaningful addition to the platform.
It is very frustrating that meaningful development at T212 has ground to a complete halt. It reminds me exactly of what I experienced at Freetrade before I switched. They added the Canadian exchange two years ago and nothing since. T212 seems to be relying on lack of competition and that will definitely be ok for them right now. But I find it very disappointing that there seems to be no visibility on their development plan and also that they seem to have plenty of time for rejigging the site in ways that are very unhelpful to the user (e.g. can’t auto invest from free funds anymore) but have no time for features the users actually want!
+1 for Stockholm, as I’ve been requesting for years.
Just to add a slightly different perspective: I actually think this is a good opportunity for Trading 212 to make an already very strong Invest platform even more useful for long-term European investors.
The reason I raised Stockholm is not simply that I would like to see “more exchanges”. We are increasingly coming across genuinely interesting Nordic companies where the current German secondary listings are either unavailable or not a good substitute because of low liquidity, wider spreads or position limits.
In our case, SCA is a good example: we can buy it through Gettex, but the primary Nasdaq Stockholm listing would be much more suitable for building a meaningful long-term position. The same applies to companies such as Addtech, Indutrade, Lagercrantz and Lifco.
So I hope T212 sees the requests here as constructive feedback rather than just another feature wishlist. Direct Nordic market access would genuinely allow us to consolidate more of our long-term investing with Trading 212 rather than having to look elsewhere for these positions.
Even some indication that Stockholm / Nordic markets are still on the longer-term roadmap would already be very welcome.
