Wiener Börse launches new product: Index basket information

(Vienna) On 31 March 2005, Wiener Börse will enlarge its range of offerings by the Index Basket Information. This information comprises additional market depth data on the ATX – the leading index of Wiener Börse - and on eleven more indices for Central and East European stocks in real time data quality, containing, among other things, the index composition, the share of stocks in the index, the free float and representation factor of the index components, the last traded price of the index stock, and the index capitalisation.

"This unique mix of real-time index data and cash market data makes it easier for fund managers who track the indices computed by Wiener Börse in their own portfolios, to optimise their individual investment strategies and thus gain even more by participating in market trends", explained Mr. Zourek, fund manager at Erste Sparinvest KAG

"We are happy to introduce a very innovative product with the Index Basket Information. Wiener Boerse once again has proven its competence and innovation power in the area of indices," said Mr. Stefan Zapotocky, member of the Management Board of Wiener Börse.
