Features

With its reliability and availability, Xetra®, the fully electronic trading system, sets standards worldwide. This is ensured not least by the redundant design of the entire technical infrastructure. Even a hardly likely total failure of a data center or a network connection can be absorbed by the Xetra architecture, without the participants being affected.

With over 250 participants and about 4,800 connected traders, Xetra has established itself as a standard for fully electronic securities trading. In addition to German and international issuers' equities, investors can trade more than 500,000 products on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, in particular fixed-income securities, index funds and actively managed funds, as well as certificates and warrants. During peak periods Xetra processes over 1 million trades a day, which makes 430,000 on daily average based on yearly figures.

Together with its subsidiary DBS Systems Inc., Chicago, Deutsche Börse Systems operates various Xetra platforms. By means of joint efforts we consistently upgrade the Xetra platform. In this way we guarantee that advanced technology is used on all Xetra-based markets at all times.
