German stock market and its indices

German stock market is comprised of seven stock exchanges, with the Frankfurt stock exchange being the biggest by trading volume as well as by the amount of listed companies. Nowadays, the exchange handles over 90% of trading volume in the country. The exchange’s history dates back to 9th century. However, it was only after the World War II, when Frankfurt exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) distinguished itself as the leader in stock trading in Germany.

Nowadays, most of the orders are being processed through the electronic trading system XETRA, that both collects and matches the orders. Floor trading via open outcry takes place as well, but all the orders from both XETRA and the floor enter a single electronic order book. The Settlement of transactions takes place two days after the trade. The Frankfurt stock exchange is currently the second most liquid exchange in the Eurozone area with the daily volume of over 1 million processed trades [3]. Due to extensive use of electronic trading and constant improvements of the system, trading on XETRA is considered highly efficient. Beside stocks, various ETFs, ETCs, REITs, certificates and even options are traded here. The exchange along with the XETRA system are operated by Deutsche Boerse Group. It publishes more than 2100 indices in total, many of them highly specialized in particular segments.
