Finland
Seligson OMX Helsinki 25 Indeks is the only ETF that gives investors exposure to the Finnish market. The top sector exposures include industrials (26.7%), materials (16.9%) and financials (15.5%). The Finnish benchmark is comprised of internationally-known equities like Nokia (NOK1V) (9.6%), TeliaSonera (TLS1V) and Nordea Bank. The maximum weight of any one company is limited to 10%, which makes the index (and hence, the fund) well-diversified from the perspective of individual names.

Denmark
Unfortunately for investors seeking to make a play on Denmark, there is no existing pure-play ETF option. To gain exposure to the Danish market, investors would have to invest in an ETF tracking a pan-Nordic benchmark.
