They are known as easy, transparent and flexible: Exchange Traded Funds celebrate their 20th birthday on 11 April. Deutsche Börse brought ETF trading to Europe in 2000 with no more than two products. Since then, the Xetra platform has led the way in a rapidly growing market. In our series, we look at the development of ETFs from different perspectives - and highlight trends, innovations and structural changes in the markets.

In our factsheet "20 years ETF trading on Xetra" we provide facts, figures and data on the development of ETF trading in Europe. How has liquidity developed? Which issuers lead the market? Which indices attract the most attention?

We have compiled the answers to these questions, including charts, on just a few pages.
