Deutsche Börse Expands Fixed-Income ETF Offerings In XTF Segment

Deutsche Börse's XTF segment, Europe's leading platform for trading in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), continues to grow. Three new ETFs on fixed-income indices have been tradable in the XTF segment since Monday. The three ETFs are based on indices from the eb.rexx Government Germany index family with different bond maturity classes (1.5 to 2.5 years, 2.5 to 5.5 years and 5.5 to 10.5 years). The issuer is Indexchange Investment AG. The eb.rexx Government Germany indices are calculated by Deutsche Börse from prices traded in German government bonds on the Eurex Bonds platform.

With the admission of further fixed-income ETFs, Deutsche Börse is continuing to expand its leading role as the platform for exchange-traded index funds. The first fixed-income ETF in Europe, the eb.rexx Government Germany EX, was already launched in February. In March, it was followed by the iBoxx € Liquid Corporates ETF with a focus on corporate bonds. At the end of May, the two ETFs had approximately 870 million euros in assets under management.

The eb.rexx index family is calculated in line with the EFFAS (European Federation of Financial Analysts Society) standards valid in Europe and meets the demand for transparent and easily replicable indices. Due to the high transparency and liquidity of the Eurex Bonds trading platform, eb.rexx offers institutional market participants an ideal basis for attractive financial market instruments like exchange-traded funds or derivatives.
