Debt instrument trading was virtually unchanged on the previous month. Overall, July turnover in this asset class was in excess of EUR 2.3 billion. The main factor here was trading in corporate bonds, which rose by more than a quarter on the June figure to end the month at over EUR 1.3 billion.

Actively managed investment funds accounted for a little over EUR 54 million, an increase of more than 42 percent on the previous month.
Note on the monthly statistics:
Boerse Stuttgart’s monthly statistics are reported on the basis of the order book turnover. The turnovers of all the securities traded on each trading day are documented clearly and verifiably. The recording of securities transactions by order book is practised by all intermediary-based German stock exchanges and serves as a basis for comparing trading turnovers. For the securitised derivatives asset class, Boerse Stuttgart also calculates the trading turnover according to the volume of customer orders executed and forwards these to the German Derivatives Association (Deutscher Derivate Verband - DDV). This ensures that comparisons between the different stock exchanges can also be made with regard to securitised derivatives.
