The ranking of the most-traded stocks and funds is based on the value of transactions in stocks and funds conducted by Swedbank customers in the Baltics via Swedbank Internet Bank during March 2024. This ranking reflects the statistics of transactions in stocks and funds conducted by Swedbank customers within the given time period and shall not be considered an investment recommendation, advice or any other kind of solicitation to buy or sell securities or to enter into any other transaction.

Stocks, also known as equities and shares, are securities that prove the shareholder’s ownership stake in a company and grant certain rights. Companies issue stocks to raise capital for various purposes, such as expanding the company’s business operations. When you buy a stock, you essentially become a part-owner of the underlying company.

Stock portfolios tend to produce higher returns on investments in the long term as compared to other investment solutions. *
You can start investing in stocks with a relatively small amount of money (for example, in the stocks of Baltic companies).
You may receive dividends from the company – a portion of the company's distributable profits.
You can make a profit from the increase in stock prices.
You can own a tiny slice of a company whose products or services you love.

*Since the inception of the S&P 500 Index (an index that is composed of 500 large US companies) in 1926, it has generated gross annual returns in USD of around 10% on the average (the level of return is the average of all the stocks in the S&P 500 Index). All forms of investing involve some degree of risk and stock investing is no different in this regard. It’s important to be aware that not every stock performs this well.

Prices of stocks may also fluctuate due to reasons not necessary directly connected to the company‘s economic results (e.g. global economic downturn).
Stocks, similarly to any other investment solution, are also subject to various other risks, such as liquidity risk, legislative risk, currency risk, tax risk, interest rate risk, etc.

It is important to be aware of those risks and to assess them on a continuous basis. For more information on the potential risks, see here.
