The trading hours for all German and international equities, participation certificates, investment fund units and exchange-traded products are to be extended with effect from 1 March 2013.
Boerse Stuttgart is continuing the extension of its trading hours. From 1 March 2013, all German and international equities and participation certificates can be traded up to 22.00 hours CET. In addition, it will be possible to trade all investment fund units and exchange-traded products (ETPs) between 8.00 and 22.00 hours CET. Trading of these asset classes is already possible between 8.00 and 20.00 hours CET.
Christoph Lammersdorf, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Holding GmbH, commented: “We are pleased to be able to offer a further innovative service to private investors in the form of extended trading hours. This will give them the opportunity to respond to developments in the leading US markets in the late evening. This is a particular advantage for trading in the increasingly popular ETPs, in addition to international equities.”
However the extension of trading hours will not only give private investors an opportunity to trade up to 22.00 hours CET. They will also benefit from all other offerings of Boerse Stuttgart, which include active limit monitoring and the free customer hotline.
