Regulated Market
The Regulated Market constitutes an organised market in the sense of the Securities Trading Act (section 2 para. 11 WpHG) and is therefore an EU-regulated market. The conditions for admission and the follow-up duties that apply here are regulated by law, thus derive from EU law and accord with uniform EU-wide standards. On FWB® the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, a listing in the Regulated Market leads to a listing in the General Standard or the Prime Standard (exclusively for stocks and stock-representing certificates).
Open Market
The Open Market is a privately organized, exchange-regulated market. The General Terms and Conditions of Deutsche Börse AG for the Open Market at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) apply to the inclusion and trading of securities in the Open Market. These regulate the requirements and obligations that issuers must fulfill. You can choose between a listing in the Scale or Quotation Board.
