- Including 17 new Belgian stocks, 469 securities are now tradable on Vienna's global market
- ams, Fabasoft and Petro Welt Technologies (formerly Cat Oil) added to quotation list
(Vienna) The Vienna Stock Exchange has again enlarged its range of stocks on the 'global market', the segment for international stocks. This fifth enlargement since the launch of the segment at the beginning of June 2017 opens trading in Belgian stocks for investors. These include well-known brands like the brewery Anheuser Busch, the international finance firm KBC Group and the pharma and biotechnology group UCB. In addition, three Austrian companies, which do not have their primary listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange, also started trading on the global market segment today. Therefore, investors can now trade the stocks of the semiconductor manufacturer ams AG, the software developer Fabasoft AG and Petro Welt Technologies AG (formerly: Cat Oil), a service provider from the oil and gas extraction industry, on the Vienna Stock Exchange. With today’s enlargement, there are a total of 469 securities from 19 countries quoted in the global market.
"The path to the worldwide most sought-after stocks passes through the Vienna Stock Exchange. The advantages of the global market are very clear: Austrian investors can trade on their home stock market at local fees," explained exchange CEO Christoph Boschan. "We will continue on the course we embarked on and are planning to add further international markets and asset classes for Austrian investors."
There are three market makers in the global market segment who ensure additional liquidity (Baader Bank, Lang & Schwarz and Raiffeisen Centrobank). By offering attractive prices, they guarantee continuous trading from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Narrow spreads and high volumes make it possible for the trades of private investors to be executed immediately at prices similar to the ones on the reference markets.
