About First North
First North is regulated as a multilateral trading facility, operated by the
different exchanges at Nasdaq. It does not have the legal status as a regulated
market in the EU. The regulatory demands are less extensive than on the
regulated market and hence there is a higher risk connected to investments on
First North. This can also mean higher earnings potential on investments. First
North provides a large investor base since it operates on the same trading and
settlement systems as the Baltic regulated market.
