Nordnet CEO Lars-Åke Norling said: “Half a million Finnish savers invest through an insurance-based product today and total savings capital amounts to close to €40bn.
“The market is dominated by traditional players offering complicated and expensive solutions where savers are mainly presented with in-house funds.
“Nordnet’s endowment wrapper is unique in terms of flexibility, pricing and digital experience and I believe that our launch will make a difference for the Finnish savers.”
The latest move further expands the company’s existing portfolio, marking its entry into the insurance savings market in Finland.
This launch has been completed via a brand of Nordnet’s Norwegian pension company, named Nordnet Livsforsikring.
Nordnet Livsforsikring is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Swedish company Nordnet Pensionsförsäkring.
The Finnish branch is headed by Kaisa Alamäki, who has previous experience of working in the finance and insurance industry, including AllianceBernstein, Mandatum Life and Nooa Säästöpankki.
Lars-Åke Norling added: “Nordnet currently has over 550,000 customers in Finland, and for equity savings account, which was launched in 2020, we have a market share of around 70% of accounts opened.”
