Some of the largest companies on the market include ASML Holding, ING Groep, Prosus, and Walters Kluwer. Netherlands equity mutual funds and ETFs may be passively or actively managed. They may also leave currency exposure unhedged, or choose to protect the portfolio from swings in the value of the Euro. The Dutch economy, the world’s 19th largest by nominal Gross Domestic Product as of 2022, is characterized by a significant reliance on trade, a large social safety net, and stable relations between labor and companies.
