Date 23/02/2010

Since Tuesday, 16 equity index funds and one money market index fund from the new issuer Amundi ETF have been tradable on Xetra®.

“We welcome new issuer Amundi ETF to Xetra and are pleased that this provider has chosen to be listed on Europe’s leading platform for exchange-traded index funds. Investors across Europe are now able to benefit from the offering via our Xetra network, which was today expanded to include 17 cost-effective and innovative products from Amundi ETF,” said Rainer Riess, Managing Director of Xetra Market Development at Deutsche Börse.

Valérie Baudson, Managing Director of Amundi ETF, said: “The listing on the pan-European trading platform Xetra is part of our European growth strategy. We offer investors in Germany and across Europe a comprehensive range of products that is mainly characterized by the following three features: very competitive prices, high product quality and continuous innovation.”

Six of these indices are tradable on Xetra for the first time. The MSCI China H Index tracks the performance of 30 Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong.

The MSCI Germany Index tracks the performance of the 60 largest German stock corporations. The MSCI World ex EMU Index contains 1,400 international companies outside the euro area. The MSCI World ex Europe comprises 1,200 international companies outside Europe. The Leveraged MSCI Europe and Leveraged MSCI USA indices track the performance of European and US companies respectively with a leverage factor of two.

An additional ETF measures the price of the Short DAX® 30 Index calculated by Deutsche Börse. This enables investors to participate in the inverse performance of the 30 (by market capitalization) largest and best-performing German companies listed on the FWB® Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s Prime Standard.

Three ETFs are based on the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50®, Leveraged Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® and Short Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® indices. Investors can participate in the performance of the 50 largest companies in 12 euro area countries with a single or double leverage factor or track their inverse performance.

A further six ETFs mirror the performance of the MSCI index family, offering investors the opportunity to participate in the development of the MSCI Europe, EMU, Pacific ex Japan, USA, Japan and India indices.

The money market index fund tracks the performance of the EuroMTS EONIA Index, which reflects the performance of the euro area's unsecured interbank loans denominated in euros.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse’s XTF segment currently contains a total of 573 exchange-listed index funds, making it the largest offering of all European stock exchanges. This selection, together with an average monthly trading volume of €11 billion, makes Xetra Europe’s leading trading venue for ETFs.
