About Frankfurt Stock Exchange
Explore the history and structure of Germany’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange. This is an independent investor guide, not the official website of the exchange or Deutsche Börse.
Understanding Frankfurt’s Equity Markets
Investors encounter two distinct market types: the EU Regulated Market, with General Standard and Prime Standard, and the exchange-regulated Open Market, including Scale. Reporting duties differ; a market segment alone does not determine a share’s liquidity, risk or investment suitability.
Read company reports, check the instrument and trading venue, and compare spreads and turnover before making a decision. Quotes on this website are third-party data and may be delayed.
