Record-Breaking Interest in Exchange Traded Products at Nordic Growth Market's 15th Investerar-SM

The Nordic Growth Market (NGM) is witnessing unprecedented interest in Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) during its 15th annual Investerar-SM investor competition, held from October 13 to 24, 2025. This competition, which has engaged over 100,000 participants since its inception, offers a risk-free environment where participants manage a simulated portfolio of one million SEK, testing diverse investment strategies using ETPs that cover assets such as commodities, currencies, stocks, and major indices like the S&P 500.

Magdalena Hartman, CEO of NGM, explained that ETPs provide an accessible and cost-effective way to invest in assets that are otherwise difficult to reach and serve purposes ranging from risk diversification to capitalizing on market trends. The competition offers prizes totaling up to 250,000 SEK, motivating participants to make informed investment decisions.

Additionally, the Investerar-SM Campus initiative includes students from ten Swedish universities, promoting financial literacy and engaging youth in practical investing experience. The event is supported by major sponsors such as Société Générale and Vontobel, reflecting the increased significance of ETPs in the Nordic financial market. Currently, over 50,000 ETP instruments are available for trading on the NGM platform, underscoring their growing popularity among retail and professional investors alike.

This surge in participation and interest in ETPs highlights a broader trend towards accessible, diversified investment opportunities in the Nordic region throughout 2025.
