In addition, Finland is more dependent on global growth than much of Europe because of its tilt to cyclical sectors. Finnish equities are also paying higher dividends than the European markets. Lastly, as investors focus more on responsible investing, the Helsinki Stock Exchange ranks the best in the world in terms of ESG reporting.
