Deutsche Börse IPO Indicator for the 4th Quarter

November 16, 2010-- Deutsche Börse published the IPO indicator for the 4th quarter of 2010 on Tuesday. At 33.48 points, it remains practically unchanged from the previous two quarters and indicates a more positive scenario for new issues.

Slightly optimistic market participants and rising equity prices continue to be factors that could drive the primary market to recover. However these are offset by impeding factors such as constant volatility and pessimistic issuers.

The IPO indicator, which is published four times a year, is an important measuring instrument for companies seeking capital that aim to go public and that are looking for the right moment to enter the capital market. The indicator is compiled from surveys of market participants and calculations by the Technical University in Munich using Deutsche Börse trading data.

BlackRock New Report ETF Landscape Spain Industry Review: Q3 2010

November 15, 2010--As of the end of Q3 2010, there were 10 ETFs with primary listings in Spain with 44 total listings and assets of US $1.5 billion from two providers on two exchanges. There were also 389 ETFs/ETPs registered for sale in Spain.

Spain is a relatively new market for locally listed products as ETFs were only introduced into the country in November 2005. At the same time, the use of ETFs by Spanish investors has been relatively high, the report notes. In 2008 a total of 76 institutional investors in Spain reported using one or more ETFs, ranking fifth out of 42 countries where institutional use of ETFs was examined by the Global ETF Research and Implementation Strategy team.

In June 2010 the Spanish securities regulatory body, Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), authorized both investment funds and open-end investment companies to be listed and/or registered as “ETFs,” giving both vehicles the same regulatory and tax treatment. The CNMV also gave ETFs greater flexibility, allowing them to replicate not only equity or fixed income indices but also any other type of asset or underlying vehicle that the CNMV expressly authorizes, such as commodities or currencies.

"Spanish investors are increasingly attuned to the ETF vehicle’s fundamental and highly attractive attributes – including flexibility, diversification, relatively low cost and transparency," said Ms. Fuhr. "Though the market in Spain is still evolving, we anticipate that both understanding and use of ETFs will continue to expand – which will make the Spanish market a dynamic focal point of ETF growth for years to come."

MTS Announces Plans To Launch Pan-European Corporate Bond Market

November 15, 2010--MTS, Europe’s premier facilitator for the electronic fixed income market, today announces that it plans to launch a Pan-European corporate bond platform for the wholesale market in response to specifications issued by the Cassiopeia Committee.

First Strategy ETC from DB ETC Index plc Launched on Xetra

November 15, 2010--The first ETC (exchange traded commodity) based on the mean reversion principle issued by db ETC Index plc has been tradable on Xetra since Monday.
ETC name: db Mean Reversion Euro Hedged ETC
Asset class: Commodities

ISIN: DE000A1E6XY8
Total expense ratio: 0.45 percent
Benchmark: db Mean Reversion EUR Index

The db Mean Reversion Euro Hedged ETC allows investors to participate for the first time in the performance of a basket of commodities comprising aluminum, gold, heating oil, corn, wheat and WTI crude oil with currency hedging. The weighting of individual commodities is based on the mean reversion principle. Using this approach, commodities that appear inexpensive relative to their mean are overweighted while commodities that appear relatively expensive are underweighted. The weighting of individual commodities in the reference index db Mean Reversion Index is mainly calculated on the basis of their average price over the last 365 days in relation to their five-year mean. The index weighting is adjusted as soon as the 12-month average of a commodity significantly deviates from its five-year mean.

Deutsche Börse’s ETC segment product range currently comprises 179 instruments. The monthly trading volume of ETCs on Xetra averages around €550 million.
