“We are pleased to be awarded this score by an independent rating agency and feel this confirms our excellent business model,” said Martina Gruber, managing director at Deutsche Börse Commodities GmbH. “The joint venture Deutsche Börse Commodities is owned by seven strong partners, including Deutsche Börse. Xetra Gold, the bearer bond physically backed 100% by gold, is our sole business objective, meaning investors will hardly find more security anywhere.”
