As of July 1, 2007, Danske Markets Equities joined the European Securities Network (ESN). The ESN is a multi-local network of 10 banks and stockbrokers in 14 countries, with strong local expertise.
Through the ESN, our clients will gain access to top-quality European research based on common standards. The ESN enables our analysts to work in a European sector environment and to put Nordic stocks into a European perspective. The network includes over 150 analysts and covers nearly 1,000 companies. Our distribution power in Europe will be strengthened through 200 dedicated sales staff with strong local expertise.
While each ESN member maintains its independence and distinct responsibilities, the members have set out common standards for equity research. Each ESN member aims to maintain its unique identity or "local flavour".
- How will this impact on our clients and our products?
We offer you high-quality research on almost 1,000 companies and access to local analysts in most countries in Europe.
- The Nordic analysts will enhance analysts’ knowledge on sector trends and peer groups through the European sector teams.
- We will host roadshows with European companies in the Nordic countries and pan-European seminars.
- The design of our research product will be aligned with the ESN standards
Our recommendation structure has changed from a four to a five-rating system (Buy, Accumulate, Hold, Reduce, and Sell), but is still based on absolute performance
