US equity market characteristics
The world's largest equity market
NYSE and Nasdaq together account for over 40% of the total value of global equity markets. The largest US companies, such as Apple and Microsoft, have market capitalisations larger than many entire national stock exchanges.
Currency risk — US dollar (USD)
When investing in US stocks from a euro base, EUR/USD exchange rate fluctuations must be considered. A strengthening dollar increases returns for European investors; a weakening dollar reduces them. USD is the world's most important reserve currency.
Technology-dominated market
The US stock exchange is exceptionally technology-focused. The so-called "Magnificent Seven" — Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla — account for a significant share of the total value of the S&P 500 index.
Frequently asked questions about the US stock exchange
How do I identify a US stock exchange share?
US stock ticker symbols have no country suffix. For example, AAPL is Apple and MSFT is Microsoft. Prices are quoted in US dollars (USD).
What is the S&P 500?
The S&P 500 is an index of the 500 largest US listed companies. It is the world's most important equity market benchmark and the most popular actively followed index. Most index funds and ETFs aim to replicate the S&P 500's performance.
Can a Finnish investor invest in the US stock exchange?
Yes. Most Finnish brokers and online services provide access to NYSE and Nasdaq. Trading takes place in US dollars, so the exchange rate affects returns. Also note the potential US withholding tax on dividends (typically 15% under the Finnish tax treaty).
