Munich Financial Center Initiative
Stock Exchange: Success with Innovations
The Munich Stock Exchange provides an
ideal combination of the traditional and the
modern. Germany‘s third-largest exchange,
founded as early as 1830, has developed
into one of Europe‘s most innovative secu-
rities trading centers. Among other things,
this is evident in the new SME segment,
M:access, as well as Max-One, the trading
system developed by the Munich Stock
Exchange and introduced in 2003. This sys-
tem guarantees the exchange will transact
an order immediately and completely at the
best price - and thus considers the needs of
private investors in particular in a unique
manner. This service is one of the reasons
why the Munich Stock Exchange has re-
cently been able to significantly expand its
market share.
