We offer financial translation between Swedish and US or British English, including annual reports, interim reports, market and risk analysis and prospectuses in connection with stock exchange listings or share issues. We are used to managing the confidentiality and insider lists that this type of information may require. Our recurring clients include banks, investment firms, large law firms and production companies.

Our expertise

Our expertise in financial translation

All businesses and organisations operating in Sweden are required to report their financial activities in one way or another. This information often needs to be communicated in at least one other language. Maybe certain stakeholders don’t understand Swedish, there may be a foreign parent company or the corporate language may not be Swedish and the financial information needs to be translated so that Swedish stakeholders or authorities can read it. All parties involved need to be able to understand the same financial information.
Financial reports

Financial reports

Financial translation ranges from interim reports comprising a few pages to comprehensive annual reports for large global corporations that are hundreds of pages long. Over the years we have been entrusted with translating annual reports for many of Sweden’s largest listed companies and most of our clients come back year after year. Thanks to our extensive financial translation experience combined with our specialised translators’ expertise, we are able to always deliver accurate translations that are highly accessible and readable, and consistent in their use of industry terminology.

Prospectuses and investment memorandums

Prospectuses and investment memorandums

When companies list their shares on a stock exchange, issue new shares or raise capital in other ways, they are required to produce a prospectus or investment memorandum. It’s important for the information in these documents to be produced with care because the content and language need to be legally accurate, transparent and precise. We ensure that the same standards are maintained – no matter the language.

Sustainability and ESG reports

Sustainability and ESG reports

More and more companies are now producing reports on their approach to sustainability, environmental and social factors. ESG (environment, social, governance) reports contain both financial and non-financial information and often include complex terminology. We make sure that translations are logical, consistent and to the point, and reflect in a clear and credible way how companies are taking responsibility in these areas.

Investment funds and other financial products

Investment funds and other financial products

We translate factsheets and product information, investment fund rules, newsletters and marketing materials for banks, investment companies and insurance providers. The documents need to be both informative and easy to comprehend, and follow the laws and regulations that apply in the industry.

Investor relations communication

Investor relations communication

Press releases, CEO comments, presentations – content for publication, scripts for speeches and text for video content – and other IR communication require language that is both professional and accessible. We help you find the right tone for both Swedish and international stakeholders.

WHY NOVOTERM?

Financial language experts – confidential and fast delivery

We go to great lengths to constantly stay up to date on financial terminology as well as new and amended national and international guidelines and accounting principles. This is how Novoterm can consistently deliver financial translations of the highest quality. Today many companies report according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Companies within the EU who are listed on a regulated securities market must also report their annual and consolidate accounts information in the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF).

We offer a range of translation services in the financial area. In addition to translation we can also proofread and edit your texts. We work in almost all of the file formats used to produce financial materials. The most common ones are Excel, Word and InDesign (IDML), but we can also handle files exported from various internal systems and platforms, and work directly in more specialised programs such as CtrlPrint as well.

We have extensive experience in working under time pressure on complex assignments, such as IPOs or new share issues. In these projects we often work closely with other parties, such as a law firm representing a client.

In prospectus assignments, strict confidentiality is crucial and the project often involves a vast amount of text to be translated in a short timeframe. This is where a structured and flexible work process is essential. We put together a team of experienced translators based on the expertise needed to translate the various parts of a prospectus, such as legal and background information, descriptions of a company’s operations, market overviews, and content on risk and shares. In the translation and updating phrases we use professional translation tools, for timely and structured management of the material and to ensure terminology consistency.
