For Institutional Positions

What qualifies on Oslo Børs.

Oslo Børs is an established but selective venue; we weigh eligibility against the stock’s liquidity, free float, and how concentrated the holding is.

For any given Oslo Børs position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
