Market quality

Market quality

  • Xetra® offers the best price more often than any competitor – and as such is the market leader in trading in German blue-chips.
  • Combining quantitative and qualitative factors, Xetra is your first-choice trading venue for German equities.
  • Quantitative data are important, but are not the sole determinant of market quality. To mention just some of the key qualitative factors: Xetra offers absolute neutrality, transparency and straight-through processing.
 

In an increasingly fragmented market for European equities, it is difficult for investors and traders to judge the market quality of different trading venues on a continual basis. Xetra stands for first-class market quality, as shown by excellent results in comparison with other European trading venues.
