Comeback to foreign-listed stocks
In 2023, Danish investors purchased foreign-listed stocks for kr. 71 billion, following a nearly double the size sell-off the previous year. The 2023 purchase occurred in a year marked by general increases in international stock markets, while the 2022 sales happened during overall market declines. The insurance and pension sector was the primary buyer of foreign stocks in 2023. The majority of the purchased stocks were from the U.S. stock market, with the three most popular American stocks being Apple, Nvidia, and Eli Lilly. Danish investors own the most foreign-listed stocks in the USA, Japan, and the United Kingdom, with the American stocks constituting over half of the investments.
