LHV Group, which received the title of Best Investor Relations Company at the Nasdaq Baltic Awards 2025, took part in the bell-ringing ceremony at Nasdaq Inc.’s headquarters in Times Square, New York. The symbolic button marking the close of the trading day was pressed by LHV Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Meelis Paakspuu.

The invitation to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony came with winning the Nasdaq Baltic Awards 2025 in the category of Best Investor Relations Company. The selection of the winner takes into account transparency, communication directed at investors, good governance, and securities trading activity.

According to LHV Group CFO Meelis Paakspuu, participating in the bell-ringing ceremony is a great recognition. ‘It is a sign that LHV’s commitment to open and transparent investor relations is noticed and appreciated not only in our home market and the Baltic region, but also further afield. New York is the pulse of global capital markets and taking part in ringing the Nasdaq stock market bell marks the placement of Estonia’s financial sector on the world map,’ Paakspuu said. He emphasised that effective partnership is a core principle for LHV in growing its business and involves communication with the company’s employees, clients, investors, and external partners alike. ‘LHV Group has over 38,000 investors who set high expectations for us every day. Nasdaq’s recognition shows that we provide world-class service,’ Paakspuu noted.

In addition to LHV Group, Tallink, Ignitis Grupe, Latvenergo, NEO Finance, and CleanR Grupa also participated in the bell-ringing ceremony.
