Smart Order Routing (SOR)

SOR can save you considerable amounts

When you choose to trade shares with DNB, you gain access to multiple markets and unique technology. This means you can save considerable amounts, because you will achieve better average prices on the shares you want. Operators that do not offer Smart Order Routing (SOR), and that have access to fewer marketplaces, cannot compete on price in the same way.

We always trade the shares you want where they are most favourably priced, which can save you a great deal.

How does SOR work?

You may be familiar with price comparison services. Put simply, Smart Order Routing (SOR) has the same function. SOR trawls countless stock exchanges and marketplaces where shares are traded. In a fraction of a second, your order is placed where the shares you want are offered at the lowest price. We fill your order, often from several exchanges, so that you get the lowest average price. When you sell shares, SOR works in reverse, ensuring you get the highest possible price.

As our customer, you automatically use SOR when you trade shares, on most orders, at no extra cost!

Unique technology gives you access to the entire market

An increasing proportion of Norwegian shares are now traded outside the Oslo Stock Exchange. Statistics for trading in OBX shares show that less than half of the trading now takes place via the Oslo Stock Exchange. The remainder of these Norwegian shares are traded via other marketplaces: for example, Aquis, Bats, Chi-X and Turquoise. As our customer, you also have access to trade directly with us, as we are approved as a systematic internaliser for a range of equity instruments (DNB SI).
