history

The origins of the Munich Stock Exchange go back to 1830, when regular trading in securities was started in the Munich “Kaufmannsstube”. The dawning industrial age brought mobility, new technologies open up new markets. Bavaria played a leading role in this: On December 7, 1835, the first German railroad ran from Nuremberg to Fürth; the rail network was soon expanded nationwide. The Munich Stock Exchange also made the boom of those years possible. The young companies sought capital for new investments and founded public companies that were listed on the stock exchange. Back then, every investor could still place orders on the stock exchange himself. From 1840 onwards banks were increasingly obliged to act as "intermediaries" between the stock exchange and investors. In March 1869, independent merchants founded the Münchener Handelsverein recognized association , which became the sponsor of the Munich Stock Exchange. He ensures the public service operation of the exchange.

In 1901 the rooms on Theatinerstraße / corner Maffeistraße became too small, and the stock exchange moved to the newly built Art Nouveau splendid building on Maximiliansplatz , the house for trade and commerce . Today the IHK Munich is located there . During the First World War (1914-1918) the exchange remained closed.

In the course of the synchronization, the Munich Stock Exchange was forcibly merged with the Augsburg Stock Exchange to form the Bavarian Stock Exchange in 1935. During the Second World War, the stock exchange was only interrupted from April 27 to August 10, 1945. The Bavarian Stock Exchange was the first to start trading again after the war.

Former building of the Bavarian Stock Exchange on Lenbachplatz

In 1963 the stock exchange moved to the new Baroque building on Lenbachplatz ( Neue Börse ), which was built in 1898 and was its headquarters until October 2007. In 2000, the Bavarian Stock Exchange was reorganized, restructured and converted into a stock corporation, the sole shareholder of which is the Münchener Handelsverein Holding GmbH & Co. KG of the Münchener Handelsverein. MAX-ONE, the electronic trading system of the Munich Stock Exchange, was launched on May 2, 2003. The new slogan of the Munich Stock Exchange is “Demand everything. Order Munich. ”On December 16, 2005, the Munich Stock Exchange celebrated its 175th anniversary. On May 2, 2006, on-exchange trading in investment funds began with no sales charge.

Since June 2009 the Munich Stock Exchange has been located directly on Karolinenplatz in the former Hutschenreuther Villa. This building was commissioned by the porcelain manufacturer Viktor Hutschenreuther in 1894; the architect was Ludwig Deiglmayr. After a devastating fire in December 1944, the building was renovated in the 1950s.

In January 2015, the Bavarian Stock Exchange launched gettex, an additional trading system that is specifically aimed at cost-conscious private investors. In addition to stocks, bonds and funds, mainly certificates are traded on gettex. These structured securities are looked after by market makers (usually the issuers of these products) by constantly setting buy and sell prices. With the help of a special certificate finder, tradable products can be found according to base values, issuers, product types, strategies and key figures and traded via affiliated banks.

Since then, the Munich Stock Exchange has been operating a specialist model (Munich Stock Exchange / MAX-ONE 2.0) and a market maker model (gettex).

Structure and organization

The Munich Stock Exchange has a private-law sponsor, Bayerische Börse AG, and carries out public-law tasks with the organization of stock exchange trading. There are issuers , credit and financial services institutions and lead brokers involved. This enables market participants and customers to influence strategic decisions.

trade

The price of a share is based on the home market (reference market). This means that the buyer in Munich always gets the best price available on the market. The Munich Stock Exchange serves as a reference market, the market with the highest turnover in Germany and abroad. For Deutsche Bank shares, for example, this is Xetra , for Telefonica the Madrid Stock Exchange or for Dell the NASDAQ ; this market is generally considered to be the most liquid market - with the narrowest bid-ask spreads. The Munich Stock Exchange ensures that the order is executed at least as well as on the reference market itself.

Trading on the Munich Stock Exchange has been running since 2003 using its own MAX-ONE system, a fully electronic trading system that automatically executes all orders against one another. At the same time, "specialists" (including lead brokers ) can take corrective action in the fully electronic matching process. The system guarantees the principle of "Best Execution" (German: Best Execution Principle). In July 2015 the release change to MAX-ONE 2.0 took place.

Exchange hours

The trading hours of the Munich Stock Exchange are:

  • 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for stocks, funds, warrants and certificates
  • 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for pensions

There is no trading on the Munich Stock Exchange on public holidays.

Specialists of the stock exchange

Specialists are securities trading banks that operate on the model of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). You ensure the following services at the Munich Stock Exchange:

  • Full execution of orders
  • Comprehensive liquidity, even in bad market conditions
  • Determination of the best price based on global stock exchange comparisons.

The less turnover takes place in a security, i.e. the less liquid it is, the more important the specialists are. You then set binding buying and selling prices and thus guarantee the continuous and immediate tradability of the securities traded in Munich. Since they always act as the counterparty, short-term market imbalances are offset.

m: access

m: access is the market segment of the Munich Stock Exchange for medium-sized companies. It is designed as a cross-segment, exchange-regulated market. Entry takes place via IPO , listing or switching from another segment. The admission requirements and follow-up obligations are tailored to the needs of medium-sized businesses. The companies listed in m: access offer their investors a higher level of transparency and security through the follow-up obligations imposed by the stock exchange.
