Arvopaperiyhtiöt
Arvopaperiyhtiöt, often translated as securities companies or brokerage firms, are financial institutions that specialize in facilitating the trading of securities. These securities include stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. Their primary role is to act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers in the capital markets. Arvopaperiyhtiöt can be involved in a wide range of activities, such as underwriting new issues of securities, providing investment advice, managing portfolios, and offering research and analysis on market trends and specific companies.
In Finland, the term arvopaperiyhtiö refers to companies operating under specific regulations governing the securities market.
