Baader Bank Forms Strategic Alliance with Nordea for Enhanced Research and Corporate Access

On February 1, 2026, Baader Bank began a collaboration with Nordea to bolster their research and corporate access services. This partnership aims to expand offerings for institutional clients, primarily in various regions previously underserved by each company’s separate efforts.

Under the brand "Baader Europe," the alliance is expected to enhance Baader Bank's reach in Northern Europe, while Nordea's expertise in corporate access will be integrated into Baader's network. The union leverages Baader’s expansive research capabilities with Nordea’s strong market presence.

Both firms maintain independent legal statuses but pool their resources to create a comprehensive European research and capital market service, covering over 600 securities now accessible to an enlarged investor pool. The partnership is seen as a strategic enhancement for both parties, focusing on high-quality research as a cornerstone for investment decisions.

Future collaboration may extend into equity capital markets and trading activities.
