My inspiration for this blog
I'm a non-Swedish immigrant living in Sweden for the past decade or so. I started this blog to share my experiences and insights on investing in Sweden, the Swedish economy and overall thoughts on finance in tech from a “newcomer's” perspective.
I was inspired to start this blog because I believe that there is a lot of opportunity for immigrants and ex-pats to invest in Sweden, but that there can also be some challenges. I hope that by sharing my own experiences, I can help others to overcome these challenges and make informed investment decisions and learn more about Sweden through the lens of the economy
One of the biggest challenges that I faced when I first started investing in Sweden was the lack of information in English. There were a lot of great resources available in Swedish, but I didn't speak the language yet. I had to do a lot of research on my own, and I made some mistakes along the way. It’s gotten a lot better since I first came here but there are still many challenges in terms of both practical information but also following what’s going on locally.
That's why I want to use this blog to provide a one-stop shop for information on investing in Sweden. I'll be writing about everything from choosing a broker to investing in different asset classes. I'll also be sharing my own investment ideas and strategies.
If you're interested in investing in Sweden or learning more about local Swedish business and economic info then hopefully I can help lend a hand!
I’ll likely also stay fairly often from just talking about Sweden but I’ll do my best to try and tie back most topics to what’s happening locally and how it might affect you.
Here are some specific topics that I plan to cover in future blog posts:
What to consider before investing in Sweden
How to choose a broker
How to invest in Swedish stocks
How to invest in Swedish real estate
How to invest in Swedish ETFs
Tax implications of investing in Sweden
Investing tips for newcomers
I'm also open to suggestions from my readers. If you have any specific topics that you would like me to cover, please let me know in the comments below.
