There are several benefits associated with investing in ETFs. The most obvious benefits are:
By investing in ETFs, you can expose yourself to both Norwegian and international equity indices, or in different commodity indices. In an ETF, you as an investor get value development equivalent to the return of the relevant index. If, for example, you invest in an index for US property shares, you get a return that reflects an increase or decrease in the US property market.
We offer ETFs in a range of asset classes, such as equities, real estate and commodities. You can see the full list in our equity trading service. You’ll get a complete overview in our equity trading service.
ETF stands for Exchange Traded Fund, which in Norwegian is called a “børsnotert fond”. ETFs give you the flexibility of share and the diversification of mutual funds. Units in an ETF are traded just like shares, and the price is set on the spot. An ETF can invest in everything from commodities to different equity indices.
Exchange Traded Funds are suitable for anyone who:
Investing in an ETF is more affordable than investing in actively managed mutual funds. Investing in an ETF is also a good option if you want to invest in a certain commodity market, or in an international stock market.
Trym G. Smedsrud tells you how to find an ETF that fits your investment strategy.
Exchange-traded funds are suitable for people who want to invest outside of Norway but who do not want to invest in individual shares.
To trade international ETFs, you must be a customer of our online equity trading service and be registered for trading on international stock exchanges. You do this inside our equity trading service after you are registered as a customer (on "My profile").

An index fund offered by an asset management company and an ETF traded on the stock exchange has several similarities. Both fund types consist of several securities that follow the price development of an underlying index. At the same time, there are two crucial differences between index funds and ETFs:
An important difference between an ETF and a mutual fund (index fund) is the pricing of the shares. When you buy shares in index funds you buy at an unknown price, because the manager trade its shares once a day after the markets are closed. The ETF, in turn, is priced by supply and demand in the market on a continuous basis throughout the trading day. The price you enter a purchase at, is the price you pay.
Another difference is that in an index fund, there will be a certain level of exclusion of environmentally hostile and unethical companies (ESG adjustments). In an EFT, no companies are excluded – the ETF gives you a piece of every company that the index is made up of.
Would you like to invest in the Oslo Stock Exchange benchmark index ? In that case, the DNB OBX ETF is a good option.
Our own exchange traded fund DNB OBX is linked to the benchmark index on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OBX). DNB OBX is tied to the benchmark index on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OBX). The benchmark index, and the ETF, will always consist of the 25 most traded shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange over the previous six months.
The risk will vary from low to high. This is because the different ETFs are linked to different markets and underlying products. The risk of the underlying securities may also vary over time. We therefore recommend that you familiarise yourself with the features of the product before making a purchase. Read more about risk in financial instruments here.
