I'm new to investing and recently opened an Ameritrade account. My goal is to build a strong dividend portfolio. While I am primarily interested in REITS, I do want to diversify a bit more. It seems that Scandinavian companies tend to pay a decent dividend but I'm a little confused in regards to what specific stocks to buy considering I can either buy ordinary shares or ADR/ADS shares.
If it helps, two companies I'm looking at specifically are Nordea (NBNKF) and Swedish Match (SWMAF). Ameritrade doesn't seem to accurately track Nordea original shares, as it was showing it's price to be under $8 all day today but other sources say it's over $9 currently. There is also a huge price difference between Swedish Match ordinary shares and ADR. I understand there are costs associated with currency conversion but the actual ordinary shares are almost double the price of the ADR.
Any suggestions or personal preferences?
