Your benefits at a glance
- €0 exchange fee
- When trading certificates from partner issuers, you incur no trading venue fees at participating banks. Depending on the bank and order size, most orders are also exempt from bank charges. You can find the exact terms and conditions at your bank.
- Simple and familiar
- You continue to trade as usual via Deutsche Börse Frankfurt. There is no additional trading venue, no complicated transition, and no extra effort required when placing orders.
- Potentially better execution
- In the partner model, your order can be executed not only against the issuer but also with other retail investors. This can result in price improvements that are not possible in direct, bilateral trading with the issuer or on other trading venues and exchanges.
- Security and transparency of exchange trading
- You benefit from the advantages of an established exchange: transparent pricing, regulated processes, and exchange oversight.
