Deutsche Boerse launches DivMSDAX Index

New index tracks highest yielding stocks in the MDAX and SDAX/ Expansion of popular DivDAX concept/ UniCredit Bank AG issues index certificates
May 16, 2011--Deutsche Boerse has launched the DivMSDAX Index, a blue-chip index that measures the performance of the 15 highest dividend-yielding mid- and small-cap stocks traded in Germany.

It is geared toward professional and retail investors seeking long-term, value-based investment strategies. The new index is suited to underlie financial products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), structured products and certificates.

UniCredit Bank AG has issued index certificates based on the price and total return versions of the DivMSDAX index. This is the first time that the index will be available to investors in Germany.

„Dividend-based investing is a simple and reliable approach for market participants with a conservative, long-term investment horizon. The DivMSDAX allows these investors to access highly liquid mid- to small-cap stocks that offer stable dividends. As the new index also complements the widely followed DivDAX, the two together can be used to capture the leading value stocks in Germany,“ said Hartmut Graf, chief executive officer, STOXX Ltd. STOXX Ltd. is the marketing agent for the indices of Deutsche Boerse AG and SIX Group AG, including the DAX and SMI indices.

Europe at the centre of unlisted infrastructure growth

May 16, 2011--Europe stands to see the most investment capital deployed by infrastructure fund managers, with 47 Europe-focused funds targeting an aggregate $33.3bn (€23.6bn), according to Preqin.

The data analysis company said Europe was widely recognised as the centre of the unlisted infrastructure industry, and its latest report showed the volume of capital earmarked for the continent outstripped the US, Asia and the 'rest of the world' (RoW) markets.

Although greater in number, the 51 funds focused on Asia and RoW were targeting a smaller investment volume of $26.9bn. North America-focused funds, meanwhile, were targeting a combined $30.6bn.

S&P offers to reprice Europe codes

May 16, 2011--Standard & Poor’s has offered to reprice certain European services in an effort to resolve accusations by Europe’s top competition watchdog that the rating agency was charging at abusive levels.

The probe by antitrust officials at the European Commission centres on so-called international securities identification numbers – the alphanumeric codes used to identify securities, such as bonds and equities. It began after European fund managers complained that they were being charged illegally for bundled services.

Boerse Stuttgart subsidiary expands to Norway

Derivatives segment of the Nordic Growth Market (NGM) introduces trading in securitised derivatives in Norway
May 13, 20-11--Boerse Stuttgart continues its expansion strategy in Scandinavia. After its market entry in Sweden three years ago and in Finland in October of last year Boerse Stuttgart has now set its sights on Norway.

The derivatives segment of the Nordic Growth Market (NGM) belonging to Boerse Stuttgart immediately makes it possible for Norwegian investors to trade in securitised derivatives.

Initially, Commerzbank and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) products will be offered; trading will also take place through the Nordnet and Netfonds banks. "Further issuers and trading partners will follow very soon. The success story in Sweden and Finland endorses our international expansion strategy," said Christoph Lammersdorf, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart.

In March 2011 the derivatives segment of the Nordic Growth Markt (NGM) reached a turnover of almost 3.4 billion Swedish crowns for the first time (equivalent to around EUR 370 million), notably surpassing the previous trading record of recent months. In February trading volumes on the Scandinavian derivatives exchange amounted to more than 2.5 billion Swedish crowns. Trading volumes have grown almost fivefold year-on-year at a rate of 480 percent. In the first quarter NGM's derivatives segment registered a total trading volume of more than 8.5 billion Swedish crowns. Boerse Stuttgart's Swedish subsidiary has a market share of 60 percent in warrants and certificates trading. After the expansion to Finland in October 2010, a market share of 56 percent has already been reached in warrants and certificates trading in this market.

"The countries of Northern Europe have highly developed financial markets with a well defined investment culture among private investors. This is why the Scandinavian market plays a key role in our international business strategy. Our core task is to inform and enlighten Scandinavian investors about the products that are new for them, thus increasing their willingness to invest in certificates and warrants," said Christoph Lammersdorf. Boerse Stuttgart's expansion into other countries has not yet been completed. Further steps are in the pipeline.

Spring economic forecast: European recovery maintains momentum

May 13, 2011--The EU economy is set to further consolidate its gradual recovery, growing by around 1¾% in 2011.
The EU economy is set to further consolidate its gradual recovery, with prospects for 2011 looking slightly better than projected last autumn. Gross domestic product is expected to grow by around 1¾% this year and just under 2% in 2012.

This outlook is supported by better prospects for the global economy and generally upbeat EU business sentiment.

Inflation, however, is rising faster than GDP, while unemployment is coming down more slowly.

Commodity prices driving inflation

The inflation trend reflects the increase in commodity prices, one of the most important new challenges that have emerged since the autumn. Inflation is projected to average almost 3% in the EU and 2½% in the eurozone this year, before easing to about 2% and 1¾% respectively in 2012.
