High number of IPOs and ETF listings in the first half of the year on Deutsche Börse

In the first six months of the year, there have been significantly more IPOs and listings of new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the cash markets of Deutsche Börse than in previous years. ETF trading on Xetra saw 104 new listings in the first half of the year - the second best result since the segment was established in 2000, including the first ETFs on Eastern European markets like Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania as well as the first Smart Beta ETF on Chinese equities. ETFs with a focus on sustainability were very popular – leading to 20 new listings in the first six months. With JP Morgan and Expat Asset Management, two ETF issuers have offered products via Xetra for the first time.
