Deutsche Börse as a listing venue offers many advantages for both companies and investors.
Go to Listing Venue:
Since 2014, Deutsche Börse has been the listing venue of choice accounting for nearly 95% of the total proceeds raised globally by German issuers going public. This demonstrates widespread trust in Deutsche Börse across various sectors, including technology, industrials, healthcare, financials, and real estate, and encompasses IPOs from both major international companies and leading small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Global Investor Reach:
Attract a diverse investor base, including German and international institutional investors and a growing pool of domestic retail investors.
High Liquidity:
Benefit from two distinct trading models – Deutsche Börse Xetra, our fully electronic trading platform, and Deutsche Börse Frankfurt, floor trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the last remaining active trading floor in Europe. This hybrid approach caters to diverse investor needs, providing unparalleled liquidity and price formation. Deutsche Börse also has tailored offering for retail investors, for example Xetra Midpoint. Xetra Retail allows retail investors to benefit from attractive prices in a deep liquidity pool, while the longer trading hours at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange allow investors to trade before and after the regular trading hours. As the leading global exchange for German equities, we offer unparalleled access to the largest pool of capital.
Iconic Bell-Ringing Ceremony:
Mark your listing with a prestigious bell-ringing ceremony on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange trading floor. This unique opportunity provides powerful branding and generates significant media attention, capturing the German market and beyond.
International Media Hub:
Leverage Frankfurt’s position as a major financial and media center to amplify your equity story and engage a wider audience. The trading floor has the second highest number of broadcastings per day in Germany.
Flexible Framework:
Choose what kind of capital market access suits best for your company's size and growth stage: Prime Standard (highest transparency standards), General Standard (EU minimum requirements), or Scale (growth market for SMEs) as listing segments and shares or bonds as financing instrument.
Strategic Location:
Located in Frankfurt, one of the world's top ten financial centers and within Europe’s largest economy, your listing benefits from access to a large network of investors, global banks, and institutions, driving dynamic cross-border investment. Frankfurt’s central location in Europe offers unparalleled access to international capital, promoting cross-border investments and unlocking global growth opportunities.
DAX® Family Inclusion:
EU/EFTA-based issuers are generally eligible for key German/European benchmark indices, enhancing visibility and liquidity. Inclusion in the prestigious DAX index family raises your company's profile with global investors, accelerating inclusion in fund portfolios and increasing trading liquidity.
