Deutsche Borse increases transparency in ETF trading
February 21, 2019--New key indicator provides information on trading costs over the course of the trading day
Deutsche Börse is providing ETF investors with a new key indicator: The iXLM (intraday Xetra liquidity measure) provides information on how trading costs of an ETF have developed over the course of a trading day. This allows investors to deduce the period in which the trading costs of an ETF were particularly low and to take this information into account for future decisions.
The individual key indicator is available for all ETFs traded on Xetra.
Implicit trading costs amount to a significant part of the total trading costs. By taking the iXLM into account, investors can save on average up to 30 percent of these costs in ETF trading, depending on the time of day," says Stephan Kraus, responsible for the ETF segment at Deutsche Börse.
