Deutsche Boerse Online Market To Offer European, Nasdaq Stocks,
Ulrika Lomas, Tax-news.com, Brussels
Tuesday, October 31, 2000
Speaking at the International
Stock Exchange Congress in Frankfurt last Friday,
a senior official of Deutsche Boerse AG, the operator
of the Frankfurt Stock Market, and recently rebuffed
by London's troubled stock market, is developing an
Internet-based stock market for individual investors
which will offer trading in European and Nasdaq shares.
Knight Trading Group Inc., the biggest Nasdaq market
maker, will be among the new exchange's market makers.
"Nasdaq stocks are interesting because there's
a lot of retail interest in them," said the official.
However, Deutsche Boerse
faces competition on all sides from rapidly growing
on-line brokers and ecn's.
Major German e-broker
ConSors has said it will link with the Berlin bourse
to set up an exchange for private investors, having
bought leading Berlin broker Berliner Effektengesellschaft
in May. ConSors, one of Europe's leading online brokers
with almost 500,000 clients, is also considering extending
its operations into the UK market. ConSors has already
set up brokerage operations in Switzerland, France
and Spain, and is forging a partnership in Italy.
Comdirect, a subsidiary
of Commerzbank, moved into France and the UK earlier
this year and Direkt Anlage Bank (DAB), a unit of
the Munich-based HypoVereinsbank, acquired France's
Self Trade in September. Comdirect recently cut its
transaction costs by up to 60 per cent in response
to a slowdown in client growth which has affected
many on-line brokers in Europe.
Jiway, an online stock exchange for individual investors
developed by OM Gruppen AB and Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter & Co., will begin operating next month.
The merger of Tradepoint,
fledgling rival to the London Stock Exchange, and
the Swiss Stock Exchange (SWX) was confirmed recently,
and they pledged to have the combined virt-x trading
system up and running by March 2001. Tradepoint's
shareholders include Instinet, the financial markets
arm of Reuters, the investment banks ABN Amro, Credit
Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Kleinwort
Benson, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter and UBS Warburg, the fund manager American
Century, and Archipelago, an electronic trading system.
'Deutsche Boerse's market
will be better than rivals' it claims, because the
exchange is independent, rather than being partly
or completely owned by brokers and it will provide
more volume in the stocks it trades.
