FNFI - First North Finland, Page 2

First North Finland (FNFI) is a multilateral trading facility (MTF) that operates as part of the Nasdaq Nordic exchanges. It provides a platform for trading in shares and other financial instruments of small and medium-sized companies, particularly those in Finland. FNFI is designed to offer these companies easier access to capital markets and investment opportunities while providing investors with the chance to invest in emerging and growth-oriented enterprises. Companies listed on First North Finland are subject to less stringent regulatory requirements compared to those listed on the main market. This flexibility attracts younger and smaller companies seeking to raise capital and grow their businesses. However, investors should be aware that investing in such companies carries higher risks due to their typically smaller size and potentially lower liquidity. First North Finland operates under the supervision of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) to ensure fair and transparent trading practices. It contributes to the vibrancy of the Finnish financial markets by supporting the growth of innovative and dynamic companies and providing investors with diverse investment opportunities.
