And does anybody have any advice for a reader looking for an ETF or other easy way to get exposure to Nordic stocks?

June 23rd, 2009 9:13 am GMT [permalink]	The problem with the Nordic markets are that they are dominated by a few very large players which are very multinational and therefore do not give you much exposure to the region itself (e.g. ABB, Astra Zeneca, Ericsson, H&M, TeliaSonera, Vestas, Nokia, StatoilHydro, AP Moller-Maersk and Novo Nordisk). For overseas investors who are bullish on the region it may make more sense to buy Swedish and Norwegian kroner or bonds from one of the Nordic countries. - Posted by Michael M
