Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. is betting equity derivatives will drive profit in Europe as greater transparency draws in more investors, according to its derivatives chief in the Nordic region.

“We will see more competition in derivatives and we want to be an active player in that,” Lauri Rosendahl, who is also the president of the Helsinki stock exchange, said in an interview at his office yesterday. “We have a very successful and pretty sizeable operation in the Nordic markets for equity derivative trading and clearing and we think that we can scale that and the expertise and experience further and grow that business in Europe.”
