March web-activity insights

Despite tumultuous markets in March, the latest website activity figures indicate declining customer activity versus February on Avanza’s platform, while the corresponding figure for Nordnet is roughly flat. We still see downside risk to consensus on Avanza’s brokerage and fund commission trends, particularly after the last few weeks of weak markets. We reiterate our HOLD on Avanza and BUY on Nordnet, with a more cautious view on Avanza’s cost trends and near-term trading activity outlook.
