1,000 ETFs tradable on Xetra

Deutsche Börse has largest product offering and highest turnover in Europe
August 22, 2012--The five new equity index ETFs from db X-trackers mean that more than 1,000 ETFs have been tradable on Xetra since Wednesday. The product offering in the Deutsche Börse XTF segment thus remains the largest of all the European stock exchanges.

This selection, together with an average monthly trading volume of €12 billion, makes Xetra Europe’s leading trading venue for ETFs. Its market share in European ETF trading is around 38 percent, with funds of more than €170 billion invested in ETFs.

In April 2000, we became the first European stock exchange to introduce ETF trading. The number of products and the amount of funds invested have developed at a rapid pace since then. The product range comprises ETFs on equities, bonds and commodities and various topics such as dividend strategies,” said Rainer Riess, Managing Director of Xetra Market Development at Deutsche Börse. “The drivers of growth are the increasing awareness of ETFs and their variety of uses. Thanks to high liquidity, investors benefit from high transparency and low transaction costs in Xetra trading, which is both monitored and fair.”
