One need not even know how to speak Danish to become an
integral member of the Danish stock exchange. Don’t be fooled,
though—knowing the language is a definite advantage for a business or
investment firm seeking involvement in a foreign market. Before
considering investing, it would be wise to consult other, more
experienced traders in the foreign market of your interest in order to
be more aware of the workings of that particular stock exchange.
With the formation of the European Union (the EU) in the past few
years, the EU has given rise to more—surprise, surprise—unified and
open markets in Europe. Realistically, all an institution, business, or
investment firm needs is an European passport from a country that is a
member of the EU. And it has become even more easily accessible to
those not living in Denmark—it might surprise you to learn that a
physical presence in Denmark for any Danish stock exchange isn’t even
required!
Of particular interest to investors is the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.
The Copenhagen Stock Exchange says it is a limited liability company
with its traders holding over half of its shares (60 percent), bond
issuers holding 20 percent, and share issuers holding the remaining 20
percent. Interestingly enough, the Danish Stock Exchange also notes
that security training does not have to take place on the stock
exchange, and also adds that competition sets the prices and fees of
the Exchange. The Copenhagen Stock Exchange Services are available
starting at 9:00 AM and closing at 3:00 PM; however, that time is set
in an European time zone, and investors should be aware of the time
difference.
The stock exchange also allows investors to trade electronically
through the Match System, the Accept System, the Interest System, the
Information System, the Reporting System, and the Electro-Broker
system, says the company, adding that the electronic system was
introduced in 1987 when the “trade floor” practice was deemed
unnecessary.
Like the New York Stock Exchange and other stock exchanges, Danish
stock exchanges like the Copenhagen Stock Exchange publishes quotes
each day at the end of that trading day as well as pertinent
information about the previous day’s activities.
