The Security to buy: Swedish Match
September 24, 2005
Swedish Match is the security to buy according to the figures from the GSCS Universe for Q2 2005. Swedish Match was the third most heavily traded security in the GSCS Universe during this time and more than 90% of transactions by value were purchases. These trades were completed during the last two weeks of April when the price was at its lowest. Since then the price has improved by 11.5% to 94.25 SEK. The highest price was 98.75 SEK representing a gain of 15.75 SEK. Therefore buying Swedish Match would appear to have been a good investment and will continue to be so as long as the price keeps climbing.

Carnegie, Goldman and Deutsche were the leading brokers to execute these trades. Deutsche came in second among the top 15 brokers ranked by commission for Q2 2005, an improvement from third place in the last quarter.
