Over 1.5 million securities are tradable: stocks, bonds, ETFs, ETCs, ETNs, funds, warrants, and certificates. These include many exciting stocks from international companies that you can buy and sell with little effort. ETFs, ETCs, and ETNs, passively managed index trackers, are ideal for wealth accumulation. Xetra is the largest marketplace in Europe for these securities and therefore has the lowest indirect costs. Xetra also offers better prices to private customers of participating banks.

On the exchange, supply and demand for securities are brought together and balanced through price determination and execution at these prices, mediated by specialists (market makers) in floor trading. The objectives of stock exchange trading are increased market transparency, higher liquidity, reduced transaction costs, and protection against manipulation.
