Foreign investors own an increasing share of the C25 index
Since January 2020, the total foreign ownership of stocks in the Danish C25 index has increased from 58 to 68 percent. The development is driven by larger value increases in the foreign investors’ holdings of C25 stocks than those of Danish investors. Foreign ownership is particularly high in stocks such as Genmab, Novo Nordisk B, Vestas, and DSV, where foreign investors own more than 75 per cent of the listed shares. At the other end of the scale, foreign investors own less than 25 per cent of A.P. Møller A, Bavarian Nordic, and Demant. Danish insurance and pension companies own only 3 per cent of the index's value, which represents 14 per cent of their holdings of listed stocks. Danish private investors own 8 per cent of the value. Among other Danish investors, the largest investor group is companies affiliated with the companies in the index.
