The Managing Director of Tradegate Exchange GmbH and new CEO of Börse Berlin AG, Oliver Szabries: „I am delighted that we have achieved this merger for the financial centre of Berlin. In the capital we have joined together what in the interest of our customers belongs together. For some years Tradegate Exchange has been the strongest growing stock exchange for private investors in Germany and now it will be strategically enhanced in the areas of product variety and international alignment. As new co-owner the association (Verein) will concentrate on its task of promoting shareholder culture in Berlin.“

Together the trading volume of the stock exchanges Tradegate Exchange (EUR 103 bn), Börse Berlin (EUR 4.7 bn) und Equiduct (EUR 41.7 bn) amount to EUR 149 bn (2018) and in their view represent the leading venue for securities trading with private investors.
