A New Service Launched At HEXGate: Online Trading Point Starts April 25

Date 22/04/2002

HEX launches a new public information service April 25, as an online trading point opens at HEXGate. The trading point is connected to seven online broker services and their customer services. General information and material on online investment is also available to the public in HEXGate.

"By opening an online trading point HEX aims to promote online investing, which accounts for approximately 20 percent of all trades on Helsinki Exchanges. The neutral meeting ground that HEX offers online brokers and investors is likely to lower the threshold of adopting new services", says Pekka Peiponen, Senior Vice President of HEX's equity trading.

HEXGate offers a vide variety of services beside the online trading point, including book-entry services, financial newspapers, listed companies' annual reports, ownership information terminals and lectures by experts.

HEXGate is located in the Stock Exchange Building, Fabianinkatu 14.
