Henrik Larsen

Henrik Larsen offers essential perspective on European markets from his base in Stockholm, where he's spent two decades analyzing European equities for both European and American investors. With an economics degree from the London School of Economics and fluency in five languages, Henrik navigates Europe's complex patchwork of economies, regulations, and political systems. He spent years at Nordea before launching independent research covering everything from German industrials to French luxury goods to Nordic fintech. Henrik understands the nuances distinguishing eurozone members from the UK and Nordic countries, and how ECB policy impacts different economies differently. His analysis proved invaluable during the European debt crisis, Brexit negotiations, and the pandemic response that highlighted divergent fiscal philosophies. Henrik excels at identifying Europe's hidden champions—medium-sized companies with global leadership in niche markets that American investors often overlook. He also tracks European regulatory trends (GDPR, Digital Markets Act) that impact global technology companies. His writing helps international investors understand why European valuations often discount American peers and when that gap represents opportunity versus structural challenges. Henrik brings a European perspective often missing from US-dominated financial media.
