NASDAQ OMX launches new Nordic website to deliver professional tools to private investors
Stockholm, October 18, 2010 — NASDAQ OMX (NASDAQ:NDAQ) announces that it has launched a new web service targeting retail investors who follow the Nordic securities markets. Based on customer feedback, NASDAQ OMX has unveiled an updated nasdaqomxnordic.com on a brand new platform which delivers the customized and in-depth real-time content that our site visitors look for. “In the Nordic securities markets, clients often focus on specific portions of NASDAQ OMX's comprehensive offering, so we let this be our guide in developing this new site. Our new Nordic site allows each customer to create their own personal investment portal with focus on their favorite markets, their native language, their asset classes, and their own portfolio. One goal we have with this re-launch is to showcase not only our transaction business, but many of the other exciting products and services that NASDAQ OMX has to offer in the region, such as Global Data Products, which, through this site, will offer real time data to private investors for the first time, ever”, said Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President NASDAQ OMX Nordic. The new nasdaqomxnordic.com will offer professional tools to private investors, including real time market data and level 5 cash equity order depths for retail investors who choose to open a MyPage+ account*. The re-launch of nasdaqomxnordic.com is a part of NASDAQ OMX Nordic's continuous efforts to increase Nordic retail investor audience's engagement with NASDAQ OMX and the Nordic securities markets, and to further establish NASDAQ OMX as a technology leader and information provider. The new nasdadqomxnordic.com is designed and constructed using the latest web technology to enable outstanding user experience and fast data response times, and will act as a flexible platform for further expanding NASDAQ OMX offering to retail investors. * MyPage+ accounts will be free of charge during a Beta period, after which they incur a monthly fee.
