I recently bought some shares on the Oslo stock exchange which was a ball ache converting money and sending it to my share dealing account and will likely be a similar ball ache moving it back.

The company also has a listing priced in Euros (I live in France, so it would be nice not to have to convert money) on the Frankfurt stock exchange.

I have no idea how this secondary listing works.

How do i investigate the relationship between the primary and secondary listings? Is there any additional risks i need to be aware of?

I can share tickers if it would help.

Thank you in advance

Is it MOWI/PND?

They're usually fungible. I've always understood it that you can tell from whether both securities have the same ISIN (which the above two do) although doubt that's 100% reliable; there's probably market/company-specific exceptions to the rule. Plus for a retail punter there's the issue of whether your broker lets you do it anyway.

The prices should be kept inline by institutional traders such that there's no real arb - or at least not that retail could realistically capture.

MOWI/PND being the ticker? Nope. If that wasnt meant to be the ticker then you've lost me smile

Ok, ill take a look for the ISIN for a start.
Edit: the company is Reach Subsea
