Welcome to the Web site of Deutsches Aktieninstitut!

Who we are:

Deutsches Aktieninstitut e.V., founded in 1953 as "Arbeitskreis zur Förderung der Aktie", is the association of German exchange-listed stock corporations and other companies and institutions with an interest in the capital market. Its most important task is to strengthen Germany's position as the location for financial services in the international competition, to support the development of the relevant framework, to enhance corporate financing in Germany and to promote the acceptance for equity among investors and companies.

What we do:

As an independent, non-profit institution, Deutsches Aktieninstitut is committed to enhancing the conditions for Germany as a financial centre and for equity as an investment and financing instrument at all levels of society and in the political domain. It provides a broad range of information about the advantages of equity without denying the potential risks. Deutsches Aktieninstitut works in Berlin as well as in Brussels to improve the legal and regulatory framework in the German capital market and for the benefit of its members.

What we have to offer you here:

Deutsches Aktieninstitut's Web site gives you a complete overview of its activities and resources, which range from the latest figures on the capital market to publications and tips for new investors in equities. A glossary as well as links to important financial-sector institutions and to listed companies round out the picture of our on-line services.

What others can do for you:

Deutsches Aktieninstitut is primarily engaged in the structuring of framework conditions in the German financial centre. As far as analyses and forecasts on market activity or price trends in individual securities are concerned, you should contact the research departments of the banks and financial services providers. If you are seeking legal advice or wish to be represented by proxy at a shareholders meeting, please contact a shareholders association.
