OMX the Nordic Exchange welcomes 170 new sub-funds of Danish investment associations

Today, OMX the Nordic Exchange welcomes 170 new sub-funds of Danish investment  
associations. As a result of the extended cooperation between the Nordic        
Exchange and the Federation of Danish Investment Associations certificates from 
more than 400 sub-funds can be traded via the Nordic Exchange.                  

”It is truly a landmark day in Denmark, where we have now concentrated trading  
in more than 400 sub-funds on one publicly accessible marketplace. This means   
that investors will have direct access to trade all Danish investment           
associations on the Nordic Exchange at the same transparent trading terms as are
known from trading in shares”, says President Jan Ovesen, the Nordic Exchange in
Copenhagen.                                                                     

The Nordic Exchange's new set-up for trading in investment certificates has been
developed in cooperation with the Federation of Danish Investment Associations  
and FundCollect. Investors will be able to enter orders directly in the trading 
system and have a better overview as the sub-funds are now concentrated on one  
publicly accessible marketplace. Trading in the marketplace opens the way for   
narrower spreads, assures the quality of net asset values and transparency      
between net asset value and transaction prices.                                 

Carsten Koch, chairman of the Federation of Danish Investment Associations and  
CEO of Danske Invest and BG Invest, says, ”We are very proud to have created a  
set-up which ensures the continued development of trading in investment         
certificates so that the individual members of the investment associations are  
guaranteed the best possible trading terms at transparent prices. OMX, the      
Federation of Danish Investment Associations and FundCollect have designed a    
solution which meets future requirements on the basis of the existing building  
blocks and a very smooth Danish infrastructure. The market for investment       
associations is unique in an international context - and Denmark is light years 
ahead of other countries.”                                                      

On trading days, the investment certificates can be traded from 9:30 to 17:00.
