New purchases April 2018 III

Same as last post I've invested in some European companies.

• 5 SWMA for 369.4 SEK for a yield of 2.49 %.
• 5 NRE1V for 33.37 € for a yield of 4.67 %.
• 6 ELISA for 36.81 € for a yield of 4.48 %.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

New purchase

I've initiated three positions on the Helsinki stock exchange.

• 25 HEL:FORTUM for € 14.32 per share for a yield of 7.68 %.
• 8 HEL:SAMPO for € 43.75 per share for a yield of 4.91 %.
• 9 HEL:NRE1V for € 37.72 per share for a yield of 4.05 %

As is common in at least the Nordic countries they only pay dividends once per year. Fortum and Nokian Tyres pay dividends in April and Sampo in May. In total they will pay $ 29.24, $ 18.29 and $14.64 for a total of $ 62.17.

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Watchlist Finland

I've been looking at some Finnish companies. I want to reduce My exposure to the $ and since Finland has the € it is a good fit, also I pay reasonable fees for buying and selling stocks.

I'm choosing between these companies  (name, ticker, yield, eps):

• Sampo, HEL:SAMPO,  5.24 %, 14.76
• Fortum, HEL:FORTUM, 7.66 %, 25.72
• Elisa, HEL:ELISA, 4.58 %, 20.34
• Nokian Tyres, HEL:NRE1V, 4.08 %, 20.13

Sampo is basically an insurance company, but it also owns 21.2 % of one of the largest Nordic banks: Nordea. Fortum is a energy company where a large share of the energy produced comes from hydro-power. Elisia is a major Finnish telecommunications company. Nokian Tyres produce tyres for consumer car.
