Fields of activity
In order to achieve the association's goals and to promote the asset class of certificates, the DDV is currently active in the following fields:
- The fairness code is a voluntary commitment of the association members. It lays down guidelines for the structuring, issuing, distribution, marketing and trading of derivative securities. Binding standards are created within the association that are intended to instill confidence in the offers of the issuers among investors.
- The certificate test evaluates the offers from different issuers according to a uniform system and thus significantly improves the transparency of the products.
- The association regularly prepares statistical material and market information and publishes the results. These include statistics on the market volume, the market shares of the individual issuers and stock exchange turnover statistics, from which you can see the exchange turnover or how many securities are traded on the stock exchanges.
- The German Derivatives Association (DDV) supports the initiative of the European Derivatives Group (EDG) to bring out indices for capital protection, bonus and discount certificates as well as reverse convertible bonds. With the publication of the certificate indices, transparent benchmarks for the most important certificate types are available. This gives investors a better insight into the development of the certificate indices in the relevant month and enables them to compare the performance with the performance of other financial products.
