THE SHAREHOLDING IN SWEDEN 2017 THE SHAREHOLDING IN SWEDEN 2017 This is the first edition of the report entitledAktieägandet i Sverige 2017 (The Shareholding in Sweden) from Euroclear Sweden (formerly known as VPC), which is the Swedish central securities depository. As the central securities depository, Euroclear Sweden holds the official register of ownership of all Swedish listed limited companies. The supporting data for the report extends to the end of 2017 and con- tains data for all Swedish listed limited companies, as well as limited companies affiliated to Euroclear Sweden’s securities system, in total 1,380 companies. Listed companies refer to limited companies whose shares are listed on a marketplace in Sweden. Euroclear Sweden's supporting data provides the ability to survey how share ownership develops over time, how it differs between men and women, different age groups and different geographical regions, and what differences exist between private individuals and institu- tional shareholders. The report also provides the ability to look more closely at the ownership of Sweden's largest companies in terms of the number of shareholders and to compare Swedish and foreign ownership. This edition also describes historical trends in Swedish share ownership since the beginning of the 2000s. METHOD The summaries in the report dealing with market value refer to all the companies listed in Sweden for which there is a registered market capitalisation at 31 December 2017. All data points in this report are at 31 December each year unless otherwise stated. Euroclear Sweden issues no recommendations on specific share transactions or recommendations to individual shareholders through this report. The report has been compiled with great care, though Euroclear Sweden is unable to guarantee the accuracy of all observations or conclusions. 2 WHO OWNS SHARES REGISTERED IN SWEDEN?
