Ljubljana Stock Exchange uses Deutsche Börse’s Xetra System

Vienna Stock Exchange links Slovenian Stock Exchange to the Xetra Network
December 6, 2010--Electronic securities trading at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange was transferred to Deutsche Börse’s pan-European Xetra trading system on Monday. The Slovenian exchange is being linked to the Xetra network through the Vienna Stock Exchange, which has operated its own cash market with Xetra since 1999.

The technical requirements are now in place to provide users of the fully electronic Xetra trading system with direct access to the Slovenian financial market. Deutsche Börse and the Vienna Stock Exchange are supporting the development of the Slovenian capital market by offering international investors this access. In addition, around 30 new market participants from Slovenia now have the opportunity to access the approximately 500,000 instruments traded on Xetra.

Frank Gerstenschläger, a member of Deutsche Börse AG’s Executive Board, said: “We have been working with the Vienna Stock Exchange for over ten years as a sourcing partner. We are delighted that this successful cooperation means one more CEESEG partner exchange, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, can operate with Xetra technology.”

Cash market trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange has been based on Xetra technology since November 1999. Since December 2009, the Central European Gas Hub (CEGH) has operated with Xetra under license from the Vienna Stock Exchange. Alongside Ljubljana, the CEESEG partner exchanges in Prague and Budapest are to use the Xetra trading system in the future. The Vienna Stock Exchange is taking a central international role in the CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG), coordinating international projects and driving their future development.

- Source announces the launch of three emerging markets ETFs: MSCI Brazil, MSCI China, MSCI India Source ETFs

December 6, 2010--Building on the success of its emerging markets ETFs and continued demand for more efficient products, Source announces today the launch of three ETFs providing single emerging country exposure: MSCI Brazil, MSCI China and MSCI India Source ETFs.

These new additions to Source’s product range are the perfect complement to the existing Source emerging markets offering, which includes the MSCI Emerging Markets Source ETF and the RDX (Russia) Source ETF. Investors can now gain exposure to broad emerging markets as well as each of the individual BRIC countries through the use of Source ETFs.

In the current environment of low rates and uncertainty for G7 countries, investors continue to turn to markets with relatively stronger economic and corporate earnings growth potential. Emerging markets have been one of the main beneficiaries of this shift, with net inflows in European emerging markets ETFs reaching nearly US$10 BN this year and total assets outstanding increasing to US$44 BN as at end of November.

Ted Hood, CEO of Source, commented: “We are excited to provide investors with a compelling and growing range of emerging markets products. Investors can now gain exposure to all BRIC countries as well as to broad emerging markets while benefiting from the efficiencies of Source’s ETFs, which offer limited counterparty exposure and outstanding trading liquidity.”

Each ETF tracks the total return version of its MSCI underlying index. The MSCI Brazil and MSCI China Source ETFs each have 0.65% annual management fee and the MSCI India Source ETF has a management fee of 0.85% p.a. These new products trade in USD on the London Stock Exchange.read more

Dazu gehört auch die Information zu der Höhe des Netto Swap-Anteils in Prozent des Nettoinventarwerts (NAV), sowie die zur Minimierung des Netto- Kontrahentenrisikos hinterlegten Sicherheiten.

Bei allen bisher aufgelegten ETFs nutzt db x-trackers die Methode der synthetischen Replikation. Dabei wird die Wertentwicklung des Index auf der Seite des Swap-Partners Deutsche Bank generiert. Über eine Swap-Vereinbarung wird die Indexrendite an den ETF weitergegeben, so dass sich der ETF in der Regel jederzeit nahezu identisch zum unterliegenden Index entwickelt. Nach UCITS-III-Regeln darf das Netto-Kontrahentenrisiko in Bezug auf einen Kontrahenten je Fonds zehn Prozent des Nettoinventarwertes des Fonds nicht übersteigen. „db x-trackers ETFs sind als UCITS-III-konforme Sondervermögen aufgelegt. Die jetzt veröffentlichten Daten haben wir bisher bereits tagesaktuell auf Anfrage zur Verfügung gestellt und bieten sie nun auch regelmäßig im Internet an“, sagt Thorsten Michalik, verantwortlich für db x-trackers.

Im Einzelnen werden ab heute folgende Informationen unter www.dbxtrackers.com auf den Detailseiten zu den einzelnen ETFs veröffentlicht und täglich aktualisiert:

Netto Swap-Anteil in Prozent des NAV

Zusammensetzung der Sicherheiten nach Wertpapiertyp, Ländern, Währungen sowie ggf. Sektoren oder Ratings für Anleihen

Zudem ist es künftig möglich, die komplette Wertpapierliste je ETF herunter zu laden.

Mit seiner innovativen Produktpalette hat db x-trackers das verwaltete Vermögen seit dem Start im Januar 2007 auf aktuell mehr als 35 Milliarden Euro gesteigert. „Die Nettomittelzuflüsse 2010 in unsere ETFs in Höhe von bisher mehr als 7 Milliarden Euro zeigen, dass wir auch weiterhin innovative Produktlösungen für Privatanleger wie auch für institutionelle Investoren zur Verfügung stellen“, sagt Michalik. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass db x-trackers ETFs eine herausragende Stellung bei der Aufteilung der Zuflüsse in Europa einnehmen. „Bis Mitte November hat db x-trackers nach Angaben von Deutsche Bank Research fast genauso viele Zuflüsse verzeichnet, wie alle anderen Anbieter von ETFs mit synthetischer Indexreplikation zusammen genommen“, sagt Michalik.

1 db x-trackers beinhaltet ETFs der SICAV db x-trackers bzw. db x-trackers II.

DB Global Equity Index & ETF Research :Emerging markets steam ahead as ETF launches reach record high

December 3, 2010--Investment Outlook:
Emerging markets continue to benefit from domestic Euro-zone uncertainty
The impact of the Irish bailout continued to run its course on the equity markets across Europe for the week that ended on November 26 2010
All major equity indices lost ground with the Euro Stoxx 50 index leading the decline, registering a decrease of 3.7%. The CAC 40 index lost 3.4% and the FTSE 100 was down by 1.1%. The DAX defied the declining trend and held its ground by rising 0.1%. Gold (US$/oz) also benefited and saw its price rise by 0.8% to $1,352.9.

The European ETP industry cash flows totaled €522 million. Both ETFs and ETCs saw net inflows of €314 million and €208 million respectively (versus €58 and €5 million last week). European ETF domestic cash flow patterns remained subdued, showing no significant change in investor mood from the prior two weeks.

Euro-zone concerns continued to generate flows that broadly reflected market return patterns. Investors took money out of declining European equity indices, generating mild outflows (€200 million). Emerging market benchmarked ETFs were the biggest beneficiaries, they received upwards of €300 million, bringing the total European emerging market ETF inflows to an astounding €7.5 billion year to date. Conversely, European benchmarked equity ETFs, including sectors, registered roughly half of the emerging market inflows (€3.8 billion year to date).

Commodities had a good week, raising close to a quarter of a billion Euros (€253 million vs. €81 million inflow during previous week). Gold saw a revival in its fortunes by netting inflows of €143 million, while broad commodity benchmarked ETFs also saw inflows of €55 million.

Product Launch Calendar:

A very strong week, with a new issuer entering the European market

New Products:

Hedge fund & equity sector benchmarked ETFs define the calendar

As the year draws to a close, new ETF launches continued unabated. A total of thirteen new ETFs by three providers were launched in the past week, bringing the total new ETPs in 2010 to 347. This is by far the strongest launch year since the creation of the European ETF industry.

The majority of the new ETFs were issued by Deutsche Bank’s db x-trackers and they were comprised of one hedge fund and ten equity sector benchmarked ETFs. The hedge fund ETF is benchmarked to an index that is intended to reflect the total return performance of an exposure to a portfolio of hedge funds operating equity hedge and equity market neutral strategies, which can take both long and short positions in order to generate positive returns. The sector benchmarked ETFs track a variety of MSCI World sector specific indices. All db x-trackers ETFs were launched on Deutsche Boerse.

This week saw the entry of a new issuer in the ETF market, Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The provider debuted on Deutsche Boerse with the launch of an ETF that tracks an alternative benchmark named the Absolute Return Tracker Index. The ETF is seeking to replicate the investment returns of hedge fund betas (market exposure) by investing (both long and short) in a number of asset classes, such as equity, fixed income and commodities.

UBS launched an ETF tracking the price of silver on the Swiss Stock Exchange.

New Listings/Share Classes

A total of 35 cross-listings took place during the week, 17 by Deutsche Bank on Spain’s BME and Italy’s Borsa Italiana, 14 by Lyxor on the Swiss Stock Exchange, 3 by UBS on the Swiss Stock Exchange and 1 by Blackrock on Deutsche Borse. A full listing of this week’s cross-listed products can be found on page 5 of this report.

On-exchange turnover:

Sharp rise led by equity trading

Average rolling 22-day on-exchange ETP turnover rose by 7.7%, to €2.18 billion. Equity ETF turnover led the rise, with an increase of 10.5% over the prior week, to €1.6 billion. Commodity turnover also rose, by 2.7%, reaching €338 million. Fixed Income ETF turnover declined by 3.3%, to €211 million.

Assets Under Management (AUM)

European ETP assets rose by 0.6%, finishing the week at €218.0 billion. Positive cash flows off-set the impact of equity market losses, thus enabling ETF AUM to rise by €300 million, reaching €199.8 billion. ETC assets rose by 5.2%, reaching €18.2 billion, largely supported by the rising price of gold and positive commodity flows. Year to date, European ETP AUM are up by 28.4%.
