Sweden has almost 1,000 listed companies, with 83 going public in Stockholm in 2021
Stockholm — Sweden is not only one of the best-performing equity markets in Europe in 2021, it is also the country that offers investors the most choice when it comes to picking stocks.
The vibrant market for smaller companies reflects the Nordic nation’s thriving start-up scene, less cumbersome regulation and deep investor base, according to Jonas Strom, the Stockholm-based CEO of investment bank ABG Sundal Collier. Still, like many smaller markets, Sweden has seen some of its most promising start-ups look abroad. Music streaming company Spotify and oat-milk maker Oatly both listed in the US in recent years. Bankers will be watching to see if the next wave of unicorns, including $46bn lender Klarna Bank and payments firm Trustly, do the same.
