Launch of new index for bonds issued by medium-sized enterprises
Increasing transparency in the stock exchange market for bonds of medium-sized enterprises/ index calculated and published minute by minute
August 31, 2011--Boerse Stuttgart is to launch an index for the Bondm trading segment on 1 September 2011. The easily replicable index will track the performance of the 18 corporate bonds listed and traded in Boerse Stuttgart's Bondm segment for medium-sized enterprises.

This makes the Bondm index Germany's first trend and market indicator for the bond issues of medium-sized enterprises. The index will be calculated as a pure performance index. This means that coupon payments will be reinvested in the index. Boerse Stuttgart's partner in implementing and calculating the index will be Structured Solutions AG, based in Frankfurt/Main.

"With the new Bondm index we will bring additional transparency to the stock exchange market for the bonds of medium-sized enterprises. As a meaningful benchmark, the index will allow investors to compare the performance of individual bonds directly with the leading trading segment, Bondm, and to measure the investment success of the entire Bondm segment," says Christoph Lammersdorf, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Holding GmbH. The liquidity in the secondary market of the Bondm segment will also ensure an index of high quality.
