If you have an existing fund savings agreement, you can change the monthly savings amount and the subscription date and pause your savings plan in Nordea Netbank under ‘Automated savings’Opens new window.  

To see how a fund’s order date and value are determined, check the sections “Subscription” and “Redemption” in the relevant fund’s rules. You can find the rules through Nordea Netbank’s search function under ‘Funds’Opens new window. Search for the relevant fund, select it and scroll to ‘Details’.

In most funds, subscriptions and redemptions work like this:

• The trade date of orders received before 16.30 Finnish time is the current banking day. 
• The trading value is the net asset value (NAV) per unit calculated by the fund management company after 17.00 on the trade date.
• If you are making a subscription, an authorisation hold will be placed in your account on the order date after 16.30. The authorisation hold will be released on the payment date when the subscription is actually charged.
• The payment date is the trade date + 2 banking days.
• A charged subscription will show in your account on the evening of the payment date, and a paid redemption on the morning of the payment date.

Always check the specific rules in the relevant fund’s ‘Rules’ document.

You are liable to pay capital income tax on any capital gains you accrue from selling fund units.

You can find the number of your book-entry account on the Savings and investments tab in NetbankOpens new window, under Investment accounts.

In Nordea’s services, the book-entry account number is shown as a string of 14 or 15 digits. However, if you have to provide the official number somewhere, you have to covert it to 19 digits. You can do this by adding the required number of zeroes after “02 2000” shown at the beginning of the number. After this, you should add the identifier for the central securities depository, which is APKE, and 12 zeroes in front of the 19-digit number to create the official 35-character long account number.

Example of how to convert a book-entry account number:

Nordea book-entry account number: 02 2000 (00000) 123 45678
New number: APKE 000 000 000 000 02 2000 00000 123 45678

Investing in equities in general and making informed stock picks requires you to follow the markets closely and read the companies’ financial statements.

If you invest in equities, the first thing you will have to do is choose which company’s shares you want to buy. When picking the shares in which to invest, you should carefully consider your investment options. 

Examples of potential investment criteria include a strong dividend history, good growth plans and promising growth potential, skilled management, the impact of megatrends on the business, and the company’s key figures. But there are also many other factors that may come into play when picking which shares to buy. 

If investing in equities feels cumbersome and time-consuming, we will be happy to help you find the right investments. In order to do this, we recommend that you prepare an investment plan. The aim of this plan is to find the best way for you to reach your investment goals and enable you to grow your wealth over the long term.

Saving helps you make your dreams come true and builds financial security. The effects of compound interest will benefit you more and more as the years go by. The sooner you make a savings plan and start saving, the faster you will reach your goals. By saving each month over a longer period of time, you can benefit from times when the markets are falling and are able to buy more units in a fund with your monthly contribution.
