Saxo Bank Expands Global Market Access

Saxo Bank Securities announced a significant expansion of its foreign stock offerings, allowing Japanese investors to trade an additional 138 shares from Italy, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland starting November 5, 2025. This expansion increases Saxo Bank's total global markets available for trading to an impressive 17.

The newly added stocks include leading companies from key sectors of each country, such as Novo Nordisk (Pharmaceuticals from Denmark), Ferrari (Luxury Manufacturing from Italy), Inditex (Apparel Retail from Spain), and Nestlé, Novartis, ABB, and UBS from Switzerland. This broadening of options facilitates investment opportunities in some of Europe's primary growth sectors, enabling the construction of more strategically diversified international portfolios.

As the only online securities firm in Japan that provides access to a wide range of European markets, Saxo Bank has positioned itself to eliminate past constraints of Japanese investors who previously had to navigate through major domestic banks, which often imposed high fees and lacked flexibility.

Saxo Bank is dedicated to fostering innovation and transparency while enhancing client investment capabilities. This latest service enhancement is a testament to their commitment in response to rising interest in global investments. The firm aims to continuously improve the investment environment for Japanese investors by expanding their range of accessible options while ensuring a secure experience.
